[Rivet] Rivet with Rapgap

Hello,

Following on from an ATLAS tutorial, I have tried to run an analysis with 
Rapgap at CERN.

I tried listing all of the generators available with AGILe on lxplus and 
Rapgap is not listed. Is there any chance of that being made available?

In the meantime, I asked the author of Rapgap to supply me with a version 
of the generator that outputs in HEPMC2 format and then pipe it into Rivet 
instead of using AGILe. Despite setting the beams to be protons at 3.5 TeV 
each, the warning tells me:

Rivet.Analysis.Handler: WARN  Analysis 
'ATLAS_2011_DIFFRATIVEGAPS' is incompatible with the provided beams: 
removing
All analyses were incompatible with the first event's beams
Exiting, since this probably wasn't intentional!

I saw that there was an option called "ignore-beams" but I had no luck in 
finding it unless I have an incorrect version of Rivet.

If it helps, my analysis can be found at 
/afs/cern.ch/user/h/hsb/public/rivet
and to set up the environment, I run setupRivetProf.sh then run 
runRapgapMacro.sh to try and run Rivet.

I would greatly appreciate any help you could offer.

Thanks,
Hardeep
