So, then I don't understand what "root" really is.
Up to now I thought that it is a kind of library (like hbook/hplot or
so) which can be used within my programs, and the "baisc program" is
called "root".

F.e., I think about writing a monitor program which gets histograms
from a DAQ via network and then simply presents them as the user like
(with an automatic updating of the most important histograms and
numbers). 
This program should be usable for people which didn't see root up to
know (and which will be confused simply by the word "canvas" as an
example).

I thought that I can simply take the "root" library, write some own
functions to get the histograms via net, write my own (specific)
menus, enable all "standard" root functions I want and have my monitor
application. 

Is this the wrong way? Or too difficult? How such a problem should be
solved at the moment?

Tschuessi
