Thanks, that's maked sense. It looks like a couple things have come up in regards to ttree as of late (granted, both are from myself). Anyway, it appears as if we need to be able to embed meta data into a file for use by ttree. That being said, Andy, would you like for myself to look into the code, or would you like the honors?
