hi,
  the problem with a single pre-canned ntuple is that most applications
need to process wire chamber data event by event to extract meaningfull
results. for example look at adjacent hits, or some correlation between
the hits of a single stub. none of this can be done with the standard
ntuple Draw() command. for this reason, i recommend using a compiled
program like 'wc_hit.cc' which gives you more flexibility in your analysis.
