Hi Andrew,
I don't think such a facility would be very useful, since HBOOK/PAW
doesn't have the equivalent of TTree and also if an output file contains
also the user's private classes one gets real problems.
You had better tell your colleagues to abandon HBOOK/PAW and convert
to ROOT for their analysis. Soon they will find out that this is the best
thing to do.
