// $Log: Example_read_dst_write_table_ntup.C,v $
// Revision 1.6  2006/08/15 21:42:56  jeromel
// Fix rhic -> rhic.bnl.gov
//
// Revision 1.5  2000/05/09 20:15:43  kathy
// transfer obsolete macros to /macros/obsolete;  update other macros so that they use standard default inputs plus only few events by default so they'll be easy to run in autoQA macro testing
//
// Revision 1.4  2000/04/18 20:37:25  kathy
// St_DataSet,St_DataSetIter,St_Table classes are nowchanged to TDataSet,TDataSetIter,TTable
//
// Revision 1.3  2000/04/13 21:46:21  kathy
// remove loading of libtpc_Tables since l3Track table is now dst_track type from global
//
// Revision 1.2  2000/04/12 16:13:40  kathy
// have changed so that macro loads only table libraries needed instead of all table libraries
//
// Revision 1.1  2000/01/21 18:20:45  kathy
// now have macro that writes a table-based ntuple and another that reads the ntuple back in and draws from it
//
//
//=======================================================================
// owner: Kathy Turner
// what it does:
//    - Reads an .dst.root produced from bfc
//    - finds a table (dst/globtrk) 
//    - fills an ntuple with this table. 
//    - Draws some plots from the ntuple.  
//    - Writes out ntuple at end.
