Soft Covariant Gauges on the Lattice
We present an exploratory study of a one-parameter family of covariant,

through a simple Monte Carlo algorithm. We demonstrate that at the numerical
level the procedure is feasible, and as a first application we examine the
gauge dependence of the gluon propagator.Comment: 11 pages, Latex, epsf.sty included + 5 PostScript picture
