Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I have downloaded the NT version of your ROOT-software to test if it can be 
of use for some planned developement work in the area of nuclear fusion.

I have noticed that none of the figures displayed in so-called CANVAS can 
be saved in a "gif" format as claimed in the manual. This is a serious 
drawback, bacause I can not import and view the resulting graphs in WORD.

Is this correct or am I doing something wrong.

I have a proposal for future developement: I is often usefull to plot many 
histograms on top of each other with all histograms having the same x-axis 
(typical the time) but different quantities for the y-axis (e.g one 
temperature, the other pressure, a third flow rates, a forth hydrogen 
generation from chemcial reaction). Then it would be nice to have an option 
that I can put those graphs on top of each other, each in a seperate box, 
with the lower line always the identical x-axis. In this mode there would 
be only one x-axis laber for all boxes containing one or more lines.
