Dear Fons, dear Rooters

Although a Mac-user, I find it great that the GUI of root will also become
cross-platform, since this is one of the great fetures of root.

However, my reason to write is the GUI Demo1 and Demo 2
of the GUI port to windows:
Since these demos seem to be extremely useful, my question is:
Is it possible to get the code of these demos?
Does the code already exist somewhere?
Could it be placed in the tutorials?

Best regards
Christian
