+Please look at HepSim [[community:hepsim:usage_truth|programming tutorials]] on how to design Jython scripts.
-====== Supported languages ======
-  * C++/ROOT
-  * CPython  (Python implemented in C++) or PyROOT
-  * Java
-  * Jython (Python on the Java platform)
-  * Groovy  (scripting language)
-  * BeanShell (scripting language)
-  * JRuby (Ruby on the Java platform)
-Some variations of the Java languages are also possible (such as Scala). For all Java-derived languages, see the [[http://jwork.org/dmelt/ | DatMelt]] project.
-The Android platform has a limited support (but the files should be readable on Android).
-Although all example scripts are based on the Python language, the actual implementation of the validation online scripts is done in Jython (Java).
-You can program in Java as well. C++/CPython will be discussed later.
-===== Using Jython =====
-Jython and Java are chosen  to write validation scripts and to run such scripts using web pages.
-Please look at [[community:refhepsim_analysis| HepSim Analysis Primer]] manual.
-===== Using C++ =====
 Please refer [[asc:promc| ProMC web page]] on how to read/write ProMC files.

 Read "README" inside this directory. Do not forget to populate the directory "data" with MC files before running this example.
-===== Using CPython =====
-Use the example above to generate CPython code to read data.
-This is documentation for CPython approach
-      * [[http://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/asc/promc/doc/cpython_promc/html/index.html | annotated classes]] - for complete MC event records
-      * [[http://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/asc/promc/doc/cpython_pronlo/html/index.html | annotated classes]] - for NLO event records
-Read the description of [[http://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/asc/promc/ | ProMC format]] about how to generate CPython code.

+====== Converting to LCIO ======
+ProMC files can be converted to LCIO files for full detector simulations.  This is an example of such conversion (it requires Java installed):
+<code bash>
+wget http://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/asc/promc/download/current.php -O ProMC.tgz
+tar -zvxf ProMC.tgz
+cd examples/promc2lcio
+source setup.sh
+javac promc2lcio.java
+java promc2lcio file.promc file.slcio
+</code>
+The last commends creates  file.slcio with "MCparticle" container.
+====== Converting to other formats ======
+Look at other directories in "examples/". You can convert ProMC files to many other formats (most converters require  installation of the ProMC C++ package).
+====== Extracting events  ======
+A file can be reduced in size by extracting N events as this:
+<code>
+hs-extract signal.promc N
+</code>
+where signal.promc is the original file, and N is the number of events to extract.
+====== Comparing MC and data  ======
+HepSim maintains analysis scripts that can be used for comparing Monte Carlo simulations with data from [[http://durpdg.dur.ac.uk/|Durham HepData database]].
+For example, click the link with  [[http://durpdg.dur.ac.uk/view/ins1253852| AAD 2013]] (Search for new phenomena in photon+jet events collected in proton--proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector) paper
+  * Navigate to "DataMelt" and use right-mouse and select "Copy link location"
+  * Start DMelt if you did not  yet, and select [File]-[Read script from URL]. Copy and paster the URL link from the HepData database
+  * Click "run".
+HepData maintain Jython scripts that use the same syntax as HepSim. You can start from a HepSim validation script, and before the "export" command, append
+the scripts with data from [[http://durpdg.dur.ac.uk/|Durham HepData database]]. Or you can start from a HepData "SCaVis" script and add parts from HepSim validation script that reads data from HepSim. Note that SCaVis and DMelt are equivalent.

+====== Programming with HepSim ======
+Please look at the [[community:hepsim:usage_truth|tutorials]] which show how to create Python/Jython scripts to read ProMC files.
