It is possible with some special implementation of Hbook2Root
interface (based on the CFortran interface from ftp@zebra.desy.de for
example).
I've pointed with my previous reply one may create this
interface and then link his old Fortran code against of this library
instead of "standard" HBOOK.LIB coming with CERNLIB
This way the Fortran code calling HBOOK1 will create the REAL ROOT
object. HFILL will fill it. HROUT write it out, etc.
There is an argument whether it is worth. But just to make you
sense I did a dummy version of such sort of the interface and even
check it with the "standard" CERNLIB HBOOK example 1. (see
attachment). It does contain the REAL implementations of
HBOOK1, HBOOK2,HFILL,HPRINT, HLIMIT,HDELET.
It works. Just try to compile and link all three attachments
together.
The FULL implemetation needs writing out about 250 functions.
I estimate it takes about 15 min/function=0.25 hours/fun =
250*0.25 = 60 hours = 12 days = 2 man-weeks to complete.(Don't
forget to add some amount to maintain this code as well).
With my regards,
