====== TTP94-13 Large Tau Decays into Four Pions ======
 
 
   <hidden TTP94-13  Large Tau Decays into Four Pions > We compute branching ratios and invariant mass distributions of the
 tau decays into four pions.  The hadronic matrix elements are obtained
 by starting from the structure of the hadronic current in chiral limit
 and then implementing low-lying resonances in the different channels
 with slowly varying coupling constants.  Reasonable agreement with
 experiment is obtained both for the $\tau \to \nu_{\tau} + (4 \pi \!)
 $ decay rates and the $e^+e^- \to (4 \pi \!)  $ cross sections. We
 derive a new prediction for the decay rate of $\tau^-\to\nu_\tau
 2\pi^- \pi^+ \pi^0 $ which is significantly lower than a previous one.
 Furthermore we supply an interface to use our matrix elements within
 the Tauola Monte-Carlo program.
