The tauola-photos_F environment for versioning the TAUOLA and PHOTOS packages

Abstract

We present the system for versioning two packages: the TAUOLA of tau lepton decay and PHOTOS for radiative corrections in decays. The following features can be chosen in automatic or semi-automatic way: (1) format of the common block HEPEVT; (2) version of the physics input (for TAUOLA): as published, as initialized by CLEO collaboration, as initialized by ALEPH collaboration (it is suggested to use this version only with the help of the collaboration advice); (3) type of application: stand-alone, universal interface through HEPEVT, interface for KKMC Monte Carlo; (4) random number generators; (5) compiler options.
