I guess you have a pointer ro the OSCAR homepage, but for the sake of completness and information to others, I give it here: http://nt3.phys.columbia.edu/OSCAR/ > Too the 5,000 event 200 central auau file is about 1.1Gb and the > same oscar file would like be at least twice that ! ASCII vs. Compressed data format.

I've mailed it to Yang Pang, on his request, but it doesn't seem to be avaliable from the homepage yet. So for your enjoyment, you can find "oscar4root" at http://www.fys.ku.dk/~cholm/pub/oscar4root-0.2.tar.gz This source package also contains an example of using ROOT, AutoMake, AutoConf, and LibTool together. You might find that interresting for your future (portable) ROOT applications. In fact, what one could do, was to output ROOT TTrees from the EGs used in BRAHMS, via indirect calls, through C++ functions, to some global object. Or, more appropiatly, use the TGenerator base class to make a ROOT wrapper (e.g., THijing) around the EG code, as done for Pythia, Pythia6, and Venus. Flemming, could you please provided patches from the orginial downloaded source to the EGs to you modified same? That would make it easier to work out how to change the code, make wrappers, etc..
