Thanks, I am happy to adapt to the TInterpreter but cannot find the examples in the TClass code you refer to. Perhaps I misunderstood you. I have looked at TClass.h and TClass.cxx for

  24077 2008-05-31 19:39

and the only reference to TInterpreter I can find is:-

  #include "TInterpreter.h"

What I need is to find the size of an object given the name of its class.
How do I do that now?

Thanks,
