What is wrong with converted hbook histos?

Hi Rooters,

I have the following problem: I converted some hbook files with histograms
and now I would like to plot them under root. This works as far as one
does not want to plot them in a non default way. I change the markers, I
plot with the option "l" or "c", the only thing I get is the histograms
with errorbars as markers. The only thing I can set in the histograms
seems to be the color.
Now I remembered the good old PAW times and used the undocumented drawing
option "hist", this works as far as the options are concerned that can be
set in the drawing options, e.g. "histc" gives you a smooth line, but how
can I set the thickness?  gStyle->SetHistLineWidth(4) before drawing
simply refuses to work.

So could someone enlighten me:
What is the difference between a root histo and one converted from hbook?
Why the hell is there a difference at all???

Cheers,
  Birger
