    Yes - correct.  
    
    However, point c) above would be a waste of time. Flemming informs me,
    that recreating various "reduced data" files should take no more then
    a week, so that would be the best choice. 
    
    However, I just have word from Rene Brun that there indeed was a bug
    in ROOT 3.00/02 causing the StreamerInfo to be created even for
    classes with version number 0 (e.g. TStopwatch). Brun has fixed this
    in the CVS, and I'm looking into what this fix does to our code. I'll
    keep you posted.
    
    Yours,
