Hi - I think it is important to attract everybody's attention to the following 
oddity:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CINT/ROOT C/C++ Interpreter version 5.13.78, Oct 22 1998
Type ? for help. Commands must be C++ statements.
Enclose multiple statements between { }.
root [0] 10**6 
(int)1000000
root [1] 10**7
(int)10000000
root [2] 10**8
(int)100000000
root [3] 10**9
(int)1000000000
root [4] 10**10
(int)1410065408
root [5] 10**11
(int)1215752192
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
note the 2 last numbers, be warned and don't use `intuitive' FORTRAN-like 
extensions - neither of the constructs above is supported by C++ !
