Hi Miro, The problem is due to the fact that you create the Tree and the branch before opening the file. In this case, the compression level is taken from the current file (if one exists) or set to -1 (no compression). However, calling SetFile a posteriori causes a problem during filling. I have now fixed this problem in the CVS version. Thanks for reporting this special case. Rene Brun On Thu, 30 May 2002, Miroslav Helbich wrote: > > Hi rooters, > > I encounterd a following problem.
