I've asked recently. Of course the main developers and likely all contributors are very aware of the issue. ROOT has always been an all-but-that-one-clause Free Software project. At the risk of spoiling any surprises, a fix to the technicality can be expected. BTW, anyone going to: http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a0522 If you use ROOT much, these workshops are always very interesting and educational. -Brett. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
