  The following set of flags are used in time of compilation. They do
  not affect directly the behaviour of the program at run-time
  (though, of course, if you disconnected the option for
  implementation of the Trigger logic, you will not be able to use any
  trigger at all. The 'default' values mean default in the sense of
  what you got from the server when you obtained this program.

  Now we define some global variables with data about the telescope, 
  such as "focal distance",  number of pixels/mirrors, 
  "size of the camera", and so on.

  Depending on the telescope we are using (CT1 or MAGIC), the 
  information stored in the definition file is different.
  The variable |ct_Type| has the value 0 when we use
  CT1, and 1 when we use MAGIC.

// Revision 1.7  2000/03/24 18:10:46  blanch
// A first FADC simulation and a trigger simulation are already implemented.
// The calculation of the Hillas Parameters have been removed, since it was decided that it should be in the analysis software.
// A loop over trigger threshold and some corretcions in the time range where it looks for a trigger will be implemented as soon as possible.
//
// Revision 1.6  2000/03/20 18:35:11  blanch
// The trigger is already implemented but it does not save the trigger information in any file as it is implemented in timecam. In the next days there will be a version which also creates the files with the trigger information. It is going to be a mixing of the current camera and timecam programs.
//
// Revision 1.5  2000/02/18 17:40:35  petry
// This version includes drastic changes compared to camera.cxx 1.4.
// It is not yet finished and not immediately useful because the
// trigger simulation is not yet re-implemented. I had to take it
// out together with some other stuff in order to tidy the whole
// program up. This is not meant as an insult to anyone. I needed
// to do this in order to be able to work on it.
//
// This version has been put in the repository in order to be
// able to share the further development with others.
//
// If you need something working, wait or take an earlier one.
// See file README.
//
// Revision 1.4  2000/01/25 08:36:23  petry
// The pixelization in previous versions was buggy.
// This is the first version with a correct pixelization.
//
// Revision 1.3  2000/01/20 18:22:17  petry
// Found little bug which makes camera crash if it finds a photon
// of invalid wavelength. This bug is now fixed and the range
// of valid wavelengths extended to 290 - 800 nm.
// This is in preparation for the NSB simulation to come.
// Dirk
//
// Revision 1.2  1999/11/19 08:40:42  harald
// Now it is possible to compile the camera programm under osf1.
//
// Revision 1.1.1.1  1999/11/05 11:59:31  harald
// This the starting point for CVS controlled further developments of the
// camera program. The program was originally written by Jose Carlos. 
// But here you can find a "rootified" version to the program. This means 
// that there is no hbook stuff in it now. Also the output of the
// program changed to the MagicRawDataFormat. 
//
// The "rootification" was done by Dirk Petry and Harald Kornmayer. 
//
// Revision 1.3  1999/10/22 15:01:28  petry
// version sent to H.K. and N.M. on Fri Oct 22 1999
//
// Revision 1.2  1999/10/22 09:44:23  petry
// first synthesized version which compiles and runs without crashing;
//
// Revision 1.1.1.1  1999/10/21 16:35:10  petry
// first synthesised version
//
// Revision 1.13  1999/03/15  14:59:05  gonzalez
