[Eg1_run] EG1 DST files (important to any current analysis)

It has come to my attention that the linked DST file directories in

~claseg1/eg1b/dst/NEW (which contains the final list of good DST files)

contains a LOT of broken links. If anyone has used these files for 
analysis lately, you may be missing up to a third of the EG1b data.
(I'm not sure how long this has been an issue for...)

It is important for anyone to check these DST links before any analysis 
with an ls -l command - apparently there is an issue that when a
server crashes containing the cached DST files, the broken links are not
always restored when the server reconnects. (I submitted this issue a few
times to the computer center a few years back; it was never completely
resolved...)

In the case links are broken, they can be restored by the commands

cd ~claseg1/eg1b/dst/NEW
./makelinks

by anyone in the eg1b working group. I just submitted this command, so 
please allow some time (a day or so, maybe longer since there's
so many files missing) for all the files to be recached/relinked...
