[Castor-users] castor-GATErootToCastor error message

[Konstantinos P. Chatzipapas]

Hi there,
Sorry to interfere.! Your command seems a bit wrong. You should not use 
".geom" in the command line. The command line should be:

castor-GATERootToCastor -i gamma2.root -o gamma2 -m gamma2.mac -s gamma2

Regards,
Konstantinos
