Hi Vahan,
   sorry for the late I wrote the mail few weeks ago but reply apparently
the mail was never left my computer...
   1) this is not generally required, but it depends what you want to do
in details. As the manual on the USERWEIGHT page says " These weights
are really extra".

It depends what to you need to do .The generation and transport of decay
radiation is limited to gamma, beta+/-, X rays, and Conversion Electrons
emissions for the time being and will be extended to alpha with the next
releases. For the contribution of the rest I'm afraid you need to pass
from the two step method.

cheers
