In this paper we compare systematically the two-component Dual Parton Model
(DPM) event generator Dpmjet-III to d-Au and p-p data from RHIC. In this
process we are able to improve the model. The need for fusion of chains and a
recalibration of the model to obtain collision scaling in h-A and d-A
collisions was found already in previous comparisons. Here, comparing to
transverse momentum distributions of identified charged hadrons we find also
the need to modify the transverse momentum distributions in the decay of
hadronic strings, the basic building blocks of the model on soft hadronic
collisions.Comment: 8 pages, 13 figures, Based on a contribution to a workshop "QCD at
