Dear Rene I am sorry, but I cannot resist to make a comment, too: When I was searching for a framework for my own project in 1999, I was considering KDE/QT before I discovered ROOT which fitted my intentions perfectly and which in general I consider to be the best C++ framework for many reasons. I was also very delighted to see that ROOT offers its own architecture-independent GUI classes. Only after already extensive use of the TGClasses I realized that these classes suffer from the 32k limit which e.g. prevents the creation of large tables. This is really sad but I understand that the GUI development has a lower priority within ROOT development. I am still reluctant to switch to QT for many reasons, one reason being that I prefer to work with only one framework, and I hope that this limitation will be eliminated soon. Since ROOT was created to deal with very large data sets it would be great if there would also be a possibility to display/select large amounts of data within the GUI. Is there a timeframe within which the 32k problem will be eliminated?
