Hi,

these are two independent problems, one with root win32gcc (that's my 
diagnosis at least), one with your code.

Try the following:

     TString filename;
     filename.Form("%i_%i_RandomTracks%s.root", myTime->GetDate(), 
myTime->GetTime(), nsTYPE.Data());
     TString outFILE;
     outFile.Form("%i_%i_RandomTracks%s.dat", myTime->GetDate(), 
myTime->GetTime(), nsTYPE.Data());

That should work.

Once I move the entry/I (and the corresponding member of the struct) to 
the end and set the branch addr to &myResults it's working properly. 
Which tells me that there might be a size mismatch between the Int_t and 
the /I somewhere. Someone more knowledgable of the buffer / streamer 
code might be of help here...

Axel.
