Dear Sajan, Here is the configuration I use : c:\root is the directory where all the root stuff resides. In my autoexec.bat I set the following environment variables : set TEMP=c:\temp set HOME=c:\nick set TMPDIR=c:\temp set ROOTSYS=c:\root set PATH=%PATH%;%ROOTSYS%\bin Before trying things out, you have to restart your system. If you then put in the $HOME directory the files rootlogon.C, rootlogoff.C rootalias.C and .rootrc these files will then be used by default when you start up a root session. However, if a modified copy of one of these files resides in your current working directory, root takes that version. To start a ROOT session, just open a DOS box and type root. Hope this helps you in getting started.

On the NT,I am unable to make it execute the macro files (.C ) files which are in my private directory. The only way I can run ROOT is by clicking the button on root.exe and not by typing from the command prompt. Could you advice me on how to setup the pathnames correctly for NT and for w95, please. We looked through the ROOT web pages and even our system manager has difficulty in figuring this out. I have the pro verson of ROOT and the version 6.0 of the Visual Studio. Thanks and regards, Sajan.Easo@cern.ch
