Re: Mac port of ROOT

Hi Arun,

   two years ago I had the whole non-graphical part of ROOT running
with CodeWarrior 10 on the Mac. I could create histograms, write to
the database, etc. Since then I've never found the time to finish this
work. However, nowadays ROOT should be more easily portable then ever.
All platform dependencies or concentrated in the two classes TSystem
and TGXW. Port those two to MacOS and ROOT should work. If you would like
to give it a shot let me know and I can help you in getting started.
TMacSystem (MacOS specific version of TSystem) is already partly
implemented.

Cheers, Fons.
