Subject: obsolete mana.c removal 
Following discussions at the MIDAS workshop and the proposed removal of support for ROOT, the very obsolete mana.c 
analyzer framework has reached the end of the line.

Right now we cannot remember any experiment that uses a mana.c based analyzer. Most experiments use analyzers based 
on the rootana package (developed for ALPHA-1 at CERN) and on the manalyzer package (developed for ALPHA-2 and ALPHA-
g at CERN, with multithreading support contributed by Joseph McKenna).

If you know of any experiment that uses a mana.c based analyzer, please let us know. We can help with building it 
using an outside-of-midas local copy of mana.c or help with migration to a newer framework (or migration to a 
framework-free standalone analyzer).

If we do not hear from anybody, we will remove mana.c (and rmana) at the same time as we remove ROOT support from 
mlogger (rmlogger).

K.O.
