Hello,

I am trying to move a TDirectory (and everything in it, including TTrees)
from one TFile to another, but without success. I naivly used
TDirectory::SetMother( ... ) to change the current file of this TDirectory
to the new file (in "/" of the old file).

I guess I also have to take care of other bookkeeping items, but I am sure
what else is involved.

Did anybody try something like this and could provide me with some example
code?

Or does anybody have more insight in the workings of TFile/TDirectory to
give me a few hints on how to do this?

cheers, Stefan
