    Hi,
    I have been successful in building the brat shared libraries so that 
    they can be loaded with the
    root gSystem->Load() command.  This does require changes to 
    acinclude.m4, configure.in,
    and all of the Makefile.am files that create libraries.  I will not make 
    the necessary changes in the
    cvs, however,  until 1) checking with Flemming, Kris, and Christian that 
    the changes do no harm and 2)
    I have a system that is usable.
    
    The latter caveat may make this a long term project.  Although the 
    loaded libraries seem to work fine,
    I have not been successful in getting bratmain or bratroot to work 
    properly.  These programs build
    fine and seem to run OK--so long as I don't use any of the brat classes.
    Unfortunately, the programs do NOT give full access to the brat libraries.
    I am clueless as to how these programs work since all of the library 
    access seems to be implicit. The
    problem is that except for a few brat classes, most attempts to use a 
    brat class results in the error
    that no such class is found in current scope.  In bratroot I can 
    explicitly add the class using
    gSystem->Load(), but this doesn't allow for replaying data.
    
    Can anyone tell me how these programs (bratroot and bratmain) know about 
    the brat classes and headers?
    
    
    Regards,
    Steve
