I'd like to mention that this is CERNLIB message not ROOT one. It
says about the size of the HBOOK fortran common block. So any
manipulation with "MSDOS space" are pretty useless.

Very likely the size of the fortran common block inside of h2root
program is not large enough to hold your ntuple. To fit your ntuple
that size must be changed and h2root should be re-compiled with a
new common block (An I right, Rene ?)
