Re: Sum of energy depositions

Dear Alberto,

Thank you so much. I erroneously thought that all types of energy
depositions cause the ENDRAW call :) Now the question about timing of
MTRACK depositions along a track becomes more complicated :( , because
their positions aren't accessible, are they?

Regards,

Vassili

P.S. Also thanks to Konstantin Batkov
