+The files in this directory are the files that were used to build
+ ../include/Marshaled*.hh .  The files ../include/Marshaled*.hh contain
+marshaling (serialization) routines that are used by Parallel Geantr4.
+
+Marshalgen is a package that allows one to add a small number of annotations
+to the original sequential code, in order to create marshalling or
+serialization routines.  Those marshalling routines are then used
+by ParGeant4 to pass data between slave processes and the master process.
+
+INPUT FILES:
+1.  G4*.hh :  The files *.hh are taken from Geant4.  They include annotations
+	(comments) that describe how to marshal individual fields of the
+	given classes.  These files have additional annotations that describe
+	how to marshal individual fields of the given classes.  For a new
+	application, you have to change any references to Ex* to your
+	own example/application include files.  These files are then reused
+	in the new Geant4 parallel application.	
+2.  ../include/Ex*Hit.hh : These files are the original sequential Geant4
+	application files that describe the application-defined hits.  
+	They remain in the application include directory because they may
+	depend on other files in the include directory.
+	For most new parallel Geant4 applications, these files are sufficiently
+	simple, that one needs only to add Marshalgen begin and end comments
+	bracketing the class that needs to be marshalled, and a small number
+	of annotations specifying accessor functions to get and set fields
+	in the class.  It may also be necessary to include marshalling
+	include files, if it is necessary to marshal other Geant4 data
+	structures.
+	Information on how to marshal the fields, etc., is in the Marshalgen
+	manual, along with the Marshalgen package:
+		http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/gene/marshalgen
+	
+
+Marshalgen was then called on the above input files.  One calls:
+  ./marshalgen *.hh
+  ./marshalgen ../include/Ex*Hit.hh
+
+OUTPUT FILES:
+3.  *.msh : These files are intermediate files generated automatically
+	by marshalgen  ( http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/gene/marshalgen )
+	These files can be deleted if desired.
+4.  Marshaled*.h : These files are generated by Marshalgen.  They
+	include of type both MarshaledEx*.h and MarshaledG4*.h .
+	(In addition, the file MarshaledObj.h is copied directly from
+	the Marshalgen distribution.)  These files are all copied to
+	the include directory of the Geant4 parallel application.
+	They provide the marshalling functions that are then used by Geant4.
