Abstract:

This report describes the Trybos Project, including the Trybos and Banks software products, from the pedestrian Run II CDF programmer's point of view. Trybos is an Object-Oriented C++ package to read, write, and manipulate data in CDF YBOS format. Files read and written by Trybos are practically indistinguishable from files read and written by the existing CDF YBOS software package. Banks is a collection of bank classes which encapsulate the many bank data structures in use at CDF.
