I apologize to anyone who may have felt I was rude in my last message.
Rereading it, I understand how one may see the letter to be that way. i
really like root, and so far I have had a lot of fun using it. I feel it
is a really impressive enviroment. so, I will rephrase my question.

I am happy with my progress thus far in the project. however, i am
confused as to how i can "recompile" the interpreter into a dll. i was
wondering if anyone has tried anything similar, and if they had any
suggestions. i was reading one of the online papers on the root website,
called "a note on root", and it said you can compile large macros into
executables. i was wondering how to go about this, and if anyone has tried
to create specialized (meaning not containing the full functionality of
root, just a certain aspect, in my case file i/o) dynamically linked
library. any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Again, i did not have any intention to sound aggressive or disrespectful in
my last message, and I am not even very frustrated. Anyone who took the
last message in that manner has my sincerest apologies.
