Hi Valery,
In connection with the above : I want to create a static library
root.a which only contains the 'root batch' functionality.
As I mentioned to you before, I would like to use g++ to create this
lib and also to run my batch jobs with g++.
I have taken the root.cmz file and can extract all the source code.
However, it is not clear to me which classes etc... I have to compile
(and put in this root.a) to have the 'batch only' version.
Is there (or could it be introduced) a CMZ selection card 'batch'
such that I could say

cmz> file root
cmz> select batch
cmz> exe setup
cmz> cx *
cmz> exit

which would then provide me only the *.c and *.C files needed to
obtain batch functionality.

If I get this to work, I obviously can use ROOT/CINT as usual (using
the DLL's) to do my program testing and physiscs analysis (plotting,
fitting etc...) whereas my heavy batch processing (e.g. producing
TTree files for physics analysis afterwards) could then be run with
g++ by linking in the root.a lib.
Cheers,
Nick.
