As promised, the list of Pythia 6 params to make the S0-Pro tune.
Instead of "call pytune(300)", you will need to set "MSTP(5) = 300" via
either AGILe or Athena.

Sorry, I forgot to mention ...

CTEQ5L was used for all of those tunes. The only CTEQ6 tunes currently
available
are Rick Field's tune D6(T) of the old model (also included in PYTUNE,
see the
update notes or the pytune.f source file for the complete list of
implemented
tunes) and an ATLAS tune of the new framework which I am not convinced
"beats"
S0 even if it does use CTEQ6.

To summarize: the best interleaved tune currently available I think is
obtained by

C...Tune S0
        CALL PYTUNE(300)
C...Augment with Professor's LEP tune
          PARJ(1)  = 0.073
          PARJ(2)  = 0.2
          PARJ(3)  = 0.94
          PARJ(4)  = 0.032
          PARJ(11) = 0.31
          PARJ(12) = 0.4
          PARJ(13) = 0.54
          PARJ(25) = 0.63
          PARJ(26) = 0.12
C...# Always use pT-ordered shower:
          MSTJ(41) = 12
C...# Switch on Bowler:
          MSTJ(11) = 5
          PARJ(21) = 3.1327e-01
          PARJ(41) = 4.8989e-01
          PARJ(42) = 1.2018e+00
          PARJ(47) = 1.0000e+00
          PARJ(81) = 2.5696e-01
          PARJ(82) = 8.0000e-01

Cheers,
Peter
