SYNOPSIS
     adam [ -f ] [ -v ] [ -q ] [ -n ] [  -h  ]  [  -segv  ]  [ -r
     [first]-[last] ]  [  -l  logfilename] [ -o outputbasename] [
     -dbmodule path] [ -Ddefines] database inputfile...

DESCRIPTION
     ADAM ( AmPS Data Analysis Method ) is used  to  convert  raw
     NIKHEF-K  proprierty  EventBuilder and detector singles data
     to usefull physical quantities on a detector basis. It takes
     one  or  more  inputfiles  and,  using  independent loadable
     modules, calculates physical quantities  like  momentum  and
     energy  of  the  detected particles.  The type and format of
     the output is dependent on the output  modules  selected  in
     the database.


OPTIONS
     -f , -overwrite
          Allow overwrite of already existing files. Without this
          option,  ADAM will terminate if an outpout file already
          exists.

     -v , -verbose
          Put more verbose messages in the  logfile  and  on  the
          terminal.

     -q , -quiet
          Do not print any message on the  terminal,  except  for
          the  event  counter.  To disable the event counter, use
          the -n switch.

     -n , -nocounter
          Disable the running event counter on the standard error
          device.

     -segv
          Allow segmentation violations to generate a  core  dump
          in stead of an error mesage.

     -h , -help
          Prints short commandline description  of  ADAM  options
          and exit.

     -r  [first]-[last]
          Only process the events between  first  and  last.   If
          first  is not specified, the first event is assumed. If
          last is not specified, the last event of each  file  is
          assumed.  When  using  this option with multiple input-
          files, the subset is taken for  each  file  separately.

          Events start counting from zero.

     -l logfile
          Write the log messages to the file logfile  instead  of
          to  outputbasename.log.   If  this option is not speci-
          fied, the the regular outputfile basename is  used,  as
          set  with the -o option, or else determined by the name
          of the first inputfile.

     -o basename
          Use basename  as  the  basename  for  each  outputfile,
          instead of the name of the first inputfile.

     -dbmodule path
          Use  the  database  reader  module  specified  by  path
          instead        of        the       system       default
          ${ADAMHOME}/lib/dbsread.so or the path specified by the
          ADAMDB environment variable.

     -Ddefines
          This argument (of which more then one may  be  present)
          is  passed  through  unmodified  to  the  database pre-
          processor cpp(1).

     database
          Path of the adam-database(5) to use when analysing  the
          specified inputfiles.

     inputfile ...
          Paths of one ore  more  inputfiles  to  analyse.  These
          inputfiles  must  be  either  EventBuilder datafiles or
          singles files.

WARNINGS
     You are using a beta-version of ADAM, which is  still  under
     development.   Do not use it for real-life data analysis and
     do not draw any conclusions from  the  results  of  ADAM.  A
     final release is scheduled for March 1996.


AUTHORS
     The ADAM development  group  consists  of  David  Groep  and
     Ronald  Starink,  with  support from Eddy Jans, Jos Steijger
