SUBROUTINE QIINIT - Initialize user parameters




This is an initialisation procedure designed to make the changing of default values as easy as possible. The parameters available to the user are listed in Tables 1-3 (for the kinematic variables see Fig. 1). In addition to these parameter settings, a name for the ``instanton particle'' is set by QIPARC(1)='INST'.

After setting the parameters, QIINIT calls the subroutine QIINIH to initialize the new instanton particle in the HERWIG event record. Finally, it sets the flag QIRCAL (calculate derived quantities and check limits) to .TRUE..
