OK,
hold on everybody.

1) the "zero" file comes from march 13, I suspect it comes from cvs but
   maybe I am wrong. It certainly was not there from the first cvs_v3 co.
   This is different then having shifting offsets.

2) A bad tdc offset files move tdc offsets only, by a constant and/or
   predictable offset. That is far away from saying that it destroys
   analysis

3) If you have followed last week discussions with me, vz, pk we are
   in the processes of having to change this calibration file ANYWAYS,
   since we believe it is not accurate enough. The restored file today
   is probably not good in the first place.
