How to get the Ntuples to your institute:
- To copy all TopNtuples from NIKHEF to your institute just get the following small python script called
Get_TopNtuples_From_NIKHEF.py and run it: ./Get_TopNtuples_From_NIKHEF.py.
Note that for the AOD's you will have to do a bit more sophisticated and get  a list of ascii files first (more later).
- Another script you can use as example on how to get the files to your institute is DataFetch.py which was constructed by Akira Shibata.
Athena release 11: 
The ESD/AODs created using Athena release 11 were made by Nabil Ghodbane and can the corresponding files can be 
found on his CASTOR directory:
