[Halld-offline] Clarification of "primary"

[Matthew Shepherd]

Hi all,

While we debate how/if such a change can be implemented, can someone provide quick guidance for how to restore primary tag back to its proper functionality so I can continue some BCAL reconstruction studies?  

Is it as simple is commenting out some change that Beni made to gustep?  Or how do I gain access to s_Reactions_t* in the framework?  

I can try to fix this on my own, but it is not part of the code I'm familiar with -- I'd just prefer to have some expert guidance.

Thanks!

Matt

Instead of rewriting the dictionary, can you propose what additional features you would like to see in the hdgeant output, and let's have a discussion on how best to accomplish that?
