Rene and Valery -

I've been trying to use memory mapped files on NT (and 95 for that
matter) and have had no success.

Although there was a mail on this list (16 Jun 98) saying the problem
has been fixed, I am unable to make hcons.C read the hsimple.map file
produced by hprod.C. the browser can see the file, but the contents
are three unnamed histograms which _all_ reference hpx.

On Win95, things are worse: hprod.C does not complain, but hcons.C
gives me the error:

"Error in <TMapfile::TMapFile>: mapped file not in mmalloc format"

Will these problems be fixed anytime soon?

(BTW, I am using 2.00/09.)

Regards,
Peter
