Abstract:

EOSGX is a program that interfaces the EOS TPC analysis shell (TAS), and GEANT. This manual describes the commands that EOSGX will accept, and how some of the non-standard features were implemented. It is assumed that the reader has access to the GEANT 3.15 manual [1], the GEANT 3.21 manual [2], and to the PAW manual [3]. The last revision date for this manual is 20-Dec-1995.

This manual is a working document, and it is the opinion of the authors that it will remain so for the useful life of the program it describes.
