<h2>Program Classes</h2> 
 
The complete PYTHIA 8 package contains 
<?php $filepath = $_GET["filepath"];
echo "<a href='ProgramFiles.php?filepath=".$filepath."' target='page'>";?>a multitude of classes</a>. 
There is no reason to describe all of them, with all of their 
methods, since most should not be touched by a normal user. 
Nevertheless some of the crucial ones are described in detail, 
as a help not only to advanced users but also to developers. 
We here provide a quick reference (still incomplete) which 
classes you can find described where on these pages. Normally 
you have to scroll down to find the details, since the top of 
the page contains information of more general interest.

which compensates for the brevity of the current page.
