Simple (you have got to be kidding!) steps and examples to get the rest of us started.

to bruce1@fnal.gov with new links. I include links as I find them and highlight with a
triple star those links that have been particularly useful to me. Comments and
suggestions are welcome.
***To find runs and turn raw data into tmb's see here.
***To generate MC and to translate the resulting TMBTree's into AADST's see instructions here.
***To do an analysis using AADST's see instructions here, and an example of code for B^0_s ---> Jpsi phi in this tar file.
***To use the B_exclusive software package that searches decays of B mesons see D0 note 4772.
***How to generate Monte Carlo.
***To reconstruct raw files and make dst's and tmb's using cab.
***To make TMBTrees from tmb's.
***Shortest instructions for running the 'find_jpsi_ks' (or any other) package at D0: Montecarlo or data, from disk or SAM, interactive or batch, with or without the TotalView debugger. (Juan Pablo Negret) THESE INSTRUCTIONS FINALLY WORKED FOR ME (after following many many dead ends)!!! Documentation for the 'find_jpsi_ks' package is in Find_Jpsi_Ks, D0 note 3842 (text format).
***Instructions and code to see muons and tracks, and reconstruct Ks and Jpsi, from TMBTree's can be found in D0 note 4101.
*Instructions and code to see muons and tracks, and reconstruct Ks and Jpsi, from RecoAnalyze root-tuples (becoming obsolete?) can be found in D0 note 4072.
***Instructions to analyze and stream root-tuples interactively or in batch mode.
***Instructions to get files from SAM.
***Some root commands.
**Tips to put code into cvs.
Really neat instructions for survival at D0:
D0 Note 3422 - D0 Run II coding for Professors.
