Converting histograms ROOT->PAW

Hello everybody,

I would like to use a program based on minuit, which would allow me to
make a complex fit to my data. This fit cannot be reprogrammed in Root
without spending a lot of time on this project. Unfortunately the
interface of this programm works only with histograms in PAW format. So
I'm searching for a way to convert just a single normal TH1F histogram
into its PAW equivalent.

Can anybody discribe me, what I have to do, to put my TH1F histogram into
PAW format? (Because I think it will be faster to go this way then
rewriting the fit program in C++). 

(I'm using Root from the beginning on and therefore I'm not very familiar
with the HBOOK data format. In earlier letters of the Root Talk Digest,
Rene said, one doesn't need to know the internals of the data formats to
make this conversion. So it's no problem for me to develop code, if it is
possible to make this running successfully within 2 days or so.)

Thanks and all the best,

Stephan
