Abstract:

An I/O system based on the XDR protocol from the RPC software has been written to exchange Physics data files across various machines. direct access capabilities have been implemented, such as the automatic searches for specific triggers. This note is a brief user's guide and reference manual.

Version 2.0: Full implementation of direct access stream and sequential streams. Specific structure, such as STDHEP or TRACK_OFFLINE have been moved to another directory of McFast, so that MCFIO becomes a stand-alone package. Disk-based NTuples are the outstanding new feature for this version.
