Hello Rene,

> We intend to release Root version 3.02/06 this week. This will be the PRO
> release.

  He have discovered several problems with the last version of ROOT from CVS 

   1. We can not read back our files written half year ago (with ROOT 3.00.06)
       We have not had any problem to read them with ROOT versions 3.02.00 / 01
   2. We can not use TChain to read several TTrees' in row  (See Bill Love's report)
       The macro crashes occasionally
   3. We can not read the new files with  TVolume objects,
        but we can read the old versions of there files though.

  We are working to understand the reasons of these new problems and will appreciate you
  will wait a little with your release.

Have you any idea what has happened with ROOT i/o recently, that  may have affected the 
backward compatibility ?

    With my regards, Valeri
