no contest. :)
I didn't have time to do the compilation for my system. this is just to 
how the program works. No result should be judged this way

my understanding is the magnetic field works now. they are loaded in as

I guess to use gemc for other detectors, you need to setup
"Option HALL_FIELD: Magnetic Field of the Hall. "
the default is clas12 field and the field files are included in the gemc 
rpm.
