Hello,
   I am doing fits in Root.  When I do them interactively I see something
like this:
 FCN=1.26222e-15 FROM MINOS     STATUS=SUCCESSFUL   3927 CALLS        4804
TOTAL
                     EDM=2.52464e-15    STRATEGY= 1      ERROR MATRIX
ACCURATE 
  EXT PARAMETER                  PARABOLIC         MINOS ERRORS        
  NO.   NAME      VALUE            ERROR      NEGATIVE      POSITIVE   
   1  p0           2.06813e-01   7.75185e-02  -6.69639e-02   8.88198e-02
   2  p1           7.93187e-01   7.86323e-02  -8.98656e-02   6.83877e-02
   3  p2           6.99663e-01   1.64727e-01  -1.58526e-01   1.73633e-01
   4  p3           3.00337e-01   1.86156e-01  -1.93731e-01   1.85260e-01
   5  p4           7.35839e-01   1.21140e-01  -1.08260e-01   1.40031e-01
   6  p5           1.16457e-01   3.56975e-02  -3.99971e-02   3.22014e-02
   7  p6           6.41985e-01   9.11096e-02  -8.25384e-02   1.01704e-01
   8  p7           1.50805e-01   3.03124e-02  -3.35608e-02   2.75935e-02

The top line says STATUS=SUCCESSFUL, however sometimes I have FAILED
or PROBLEMS.  I assume there is some way to get this information but
I cant find any access methods that sound right.

I am basically defining a histogram and then a fit fuction and then
I do:
histo->Fit("System8","rnem");

I figured out how to get the parameters, the errors, the chi2, but
the success/failed flag escapes me.

Anyone know how to get this information?
