Dear Fons and Bertrand,
CONGRATULATIONS !
This indeed looks good. As soon as a first (pre)release is available
please let me know so that I can start trying things out.
>From your mail I understand that no additional libs are needed, just the
standard WIN32 API. Does this mean that in the pre-release one can
have available both the ROOT GUI and the win graphics as they are now ?
If that is the case it would be very convenient to compare the two
running various analysis/test programs under windows.
Cheers,
Nick.
