[Rivet] aida2root

Dear Riveters,

We are having problems converting aida files to ROOT files on the UCL  
hep cluster. The problem is in the way PyROOT is installed so is  
obviously a UCL problem but along the way we saw a couple of other  
problems with the aida2root script.

Firstly should the line:

if os.has_key("ROOTSYS")

actually be

if os.environ.has_key("ROOTSYS")
?

Secondly we find the warning message:

"Couldn't find ROOT module. If ROOT is installed, you probably have  
PyROOT installed as well."

confusing, what is this trying to tell us? That it can't find either  
ROOT or PyROOT?


Cheers,
Emily.
