Hi, everybody!
I have a few comments about Simon's changes:

I do not insist on anything, if this new scheme works. However, there have
been problems lately, so I had to work around them and that was my
solution; it might not the best, but since Moller is more about
studying background than physics and since the background subroutine is
also in the blastmc directory, I thought this would be acceptable. And if
you do not activate the Moller generator with IKINE 20, you do not really
care, pretty much like if you do not have a negative IKINE, you do not
care about background... So there was some symmetry in my solution too.

This was the problem, I was having a hard time using this method. Maybe
you already checked this, anyway, when linking with a user generator
compiled in another location and simply moved to the "run" directory, I
recently got error messages like: "relocation error" etc. I know this used
to work and I do not know what the problems are now, but I would rather
have a less elegant solution that works than a very elegant one that does
not.

I will surely try your method, if it works, I will be very happy with
this, if not, I will have to get back to the other...
Cheers!
