User Initialization

This routine should be used to book histograms and to perform other user initializations. All standard initialization work is performed automatically in the ALPHA subroutine QMINIT before QUINIT is called. The standard ALPHA initialization includes:

• Initialization of BOS (default : 1500,000 words working space)
• Initialization of HBOOK (default : 100,000 words working space)
• Reading special files containing constants and calibrations
• Reading the user's data cards
• Opening the ALEPH data base
• Initialization of ALPHA.

These space allocations are large enough for most applications; they can be increased by modifying the routines described in sections 3.5.3 and 3.5.5.
