Dear all,
         This is just a quarry regarding restart flag 8. The manual states :
".... one can ask GADGET-4 to isolate individual trees and to arrange the corresponding subhalos in a format that allows easy processing of the trees, for example, in a semi-analytic code for galaxy formation. This process also computes the other links shown in the above sketch. To this end, one starts GADGET-4 with restartflag 8 ...".

If I understand correctly, if restart flag 8 is used, data will be arranged in tree-wise manner, may be like this :
=====================
"
  Tree2065:NXgroup Descendant = [-1 0 1] FileNr = [10 10 10] FirstHaloInFOFGroup = [0 1 2] FirstProgenitor = [ 1 2 -1] GroupCM = float32(3x3) GroupMassType = float32(3x6) Group_M_Crit200 = [0.269265 0.269265 0.26927 ] Group_M_Crit500 = [0.222053 0.237791 0.26927 ] Group_M_Mean200 = [0.365575 0.365588 0.349875] Group_M_TopHat200 = [0.332214 0.332214 0.334138] Group_R_Crit200 = [22.626024 22.774189 22.99517 ] Group_R_Crit500 = [15.633368 16.098663 16.943964] Group_R_Mean200 = [37.062725 37.06375 36.5244 ] Group_R_TopHat200 = [30.339376 30.454967 30.68801 ] NextHaloInFOFGroup = [-1 -1 -1] NextProgenitor = [-1 -1 -1] SnapNum = [99 98 97] .........

Tree2066:NXgroup Descendant = -1 FileNr = 10 FirstHaloInFOFGroup = 0 FirstProgenitor = -1 GroupCM = [[ 4272.26 20351.26 14372.56]] GroupMassType = [[0.008101 0.472117 0. 0. 0. 0. ]] Group_M_Crit200 = 0.37769344449043274 Group_M_Crit500 = 0.2675328552722931 Group_M_Mean200 = 0.46446433663368225 Group_M_TopHat200 = 0.4450022876262665 Group_R_Crit200 = 25.32822036743164 Group_R_Crit500 = 16.6357364654541 Group_R_Mean200 = 40.14205551147461 Group_R_TopHat200 = 33.44480514526367 NextHaloInFOFGroup = -1 NextProgenitor = -1 SnapNum = 99 SubhaloBHMass = 0.0 SubhaloBHMdot = 0.0 SubhaloBfldDisk = 0.0 SubhaloBfldHalo = 0.0 ........

and so on .... "
=================
However, the new tree-files that are generated by restart flag 8 are of similar structure as restart flag 7, i.e., :
=================
 TreeHalos:NXgroup GroupNr = int64(87002) Group_M_Crit200 = float32(87002) SnapNum = int32(87002) SubhaloHalfmassRad = float32(87002) SubhaloIDMostbound = uint32(87002) SubhaloLen = int32(87002) SubhaloMass = float32(87002) SubhaloNr = int64(87002) SubhaloPos = float32(87002x3) SubhaloSpin = float32(87002x3) SubhaloVel = float32(87002x3) SubhaloVelDisp = float32(87002) SubhaloVmax = float32(87002) SubhaloVmaxRad = float32(87002) TreeDescendant = int32(87002) TreeFirstDescendant = int32(87002) TreeFirstHaloInFOFgroup = int32(87002) TreeFirstProgenitor = int32(87002) TreeID = int64(87002) TreeIndex = int32(87002) TreeMainProgenitor = int32(87002) TreeNextDescendant = int32(87002) TreeNextHaloInFOFgroup = int32(87002) TreeNextProgenitor = int32(87002) TreeProgenitor = int32(87002) TreeTable:NXgroup Length = int32(18467) StartOffset = int64(18467) TreeID = int64(18467) TreeTimes:NXgroup Redshift = float64(4) Time = float64(4)
=========================

Maybe I am missing something. It would helpful if you would point me towards the correct understanding.
