This project was done in the context of FNAL Experiment E781 (the charm baryon study), which took data during the 1996-97 "fixed-target" run, using the SELEX detector, and a 650-GeV sigma hyperon beam derived from a production target exposed to the 1-TeV ultra-high energy proton beam out of the FNAL TEVATRON accelerator.We used the SSH encrypted TELNET to penetrate the BSU firewall to gain access to the FNAL E781 computer system.We did SELEX VDC alignments of runs 5577, and 7413, via telnet to the E781 computer system, using E78 I's SOAP analysis package then broadcasted the results to E781 collaborators.Also, we installed REDHAT-6.2's distribution of the LINUX OS, and then studied, downloaded and investigated (installing/compiling/testing) the E781 SOAP analysis package on several local BSU PC's. We analyzed and displayed these local tests results with the PAW graphics software (itself downloaded from the CERN laboratory). === Department of Physics and Astronomy
