Merit FITS files & HippoDraw

This document provides instructions for handling Merit FITS files using HippoDraw, as explained by Warren Focke. The files are located in the same FTP directories as the ROOT files. Conversion is conducted with tree2tf from the AstroROOT package. Users must ensure they have ROOT version 4.00.02 or better installed. It is necessary to check file validity using cmpTuple.py. The files need to be decompressed before reading with HippoDraw, and relevant scripts for this process are available. Note that checksums will be corrected in future versions.
