1) Where is it ??? I downloaded the NT binaries and I do not see it. Perhaps
it should be easy to do a html version people can see on the web.

2) I am planning to introduce this tool as a handy tool for our PV guys. Do
we have to buy any licenses. Note : we will not sell your tool but
distribute ( freely) among us.

3) Did I heard a Java version is coming or I am just dreaming ?

4) how can you collect custom events ? Our application generates tons of
data and we would like to read, store, archive. Is there a tutorial on that.

:Hi Yassin,
:
: 1) the current release of ROOT comes with the following license:

:2) The x3d library is only available for the X11 version. However, the
Windows
: version of ROOT allows 3d charts via the normal ROOT graphics system,
: or via OpenGL. Look at some of the tutorials in the $ROOTSYS/tutorials
: directory. They should work fine in a VC++ project.

:Cheers, Fons.
