[ROOT] More complex cuts in ROOT

Hi,

I am trying to learn to work with ROOT by rewriting a PAW program I've 
used for analysing test beam data. All data is converted from a hbook 
file to a ROOT file containing a ntuple. This data contains hits in 
tracking chambers, which should be extrapolated to the plane of the 
detector which is being tested to know where the particle hit the 
detector - this position is used to define cuts on the events.

In PAW this was done by following line:
cuts $96 [left]<xfit.f(//[strip].//)<[right]
where xfit.f was a fortran function which calculated where the particle 
hit the plane of the detector (using the data of the tracking chambers).
I am wondering what would be the easiest way of doing something similiar 
in ROOT. From my understanding one can not call functions in TCut 
(except those defined in TFormula). Is the only way of doing it using 
MakeClass, or is there an easier way?

Thank you very much in advance.
