[Gate-users] Gate on Cluster

[Hermann Fuchs]

Hello Bassim

You can convert root output to ascii output.
However, it involves programming.

Basically root has its own filesystem which is pretty easy to read out
using the root framework.
What you would have to do is write a program to open the root file and
write its content in an ASCII file in your desired structure. Should not
require more than 50 lines though.
The advantage of this solution is that you can use the merging program
implemented in GATE as it can at the moment only merge .root files.

Regards,
Hermann
