.SH NAME
Herwig++ \- Multi\-purpose Monte\-Carlo event generator for particle physics.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B Herwig++
\fI(read|run) \fR[\fIOPTIONS\fR]... [\fIFILE\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Herwig++ is a multi\-purpose Monte\-Carlo event generator for particle physics.
See arXiv:0803.0883 for a detailed manual, or arXiv:1101.2599 for a more
general description of the physics behind MC event generation.
.PP
One of the commands 'read' or 'run' is required:
.IP
read \- reads an input file and creates a run file,
.IP
run  \- reads a run file and generates events.
