Dear ROOTers, 

trying to create a chain of several ROOT files I hit the following naming 
problem (I'm using ROOT v3.02):

root [0] TChain* chain = new TChain("STNTUPLE");                                   
root [1] chain->Add("/cdf/data08/muon/aa019482.stntuple");                         
Error in <TChain::AddFile>: a chain element name must contain the string .root

If I'm reading the diagnostics right, it that one can't chain the files with the
extention different from .root. If so, I'm wondering if there is a real reason to 
having such a restriction?
						thanks, Pasha
