Hi Norm,
The Les Houches xml format event files that I have were generated by a theorist using the CompHEP Feynman diagram package. The goal is to use them as input to SLIC along with the preliminary compact description of our MIT-JLAB experiment.
Below I include the first several lines of xml from the top of one of the files as a sample of the format.
Thanks much,
--Ray

Preliminary version, it is compatible with the Les Houches event file
format (hep-ph/0609017), but contains extra tags.
