  Hello dear Users.

  Thanks the Voropaev's (<voropaev@inp.nsk.su>) "Bug report" and his  
hard pressure I've found some solution of the nasty "color palette 
problem" to reduce the conflicts between ROOT and other "color 
intensive" applications (for example like Microsoft Internet 
explorer, Windows 95 desktop etc) with "256 colors" video mode.

  Since Fons has gone for a vacation I took a liberty and made it 
available via my personal Web home page. 


 http://nicewww.cern.ch/~fine/www/root_v1.02.x86.Windows_NT.exe
 http://nicewww.cern.ch/~fine/www/root_v1.02.setup_NT.bat

 To install follow our instruction from the "official" place:

 http://root.cern.ch/root/Version102.html

(It is available via CERN NICE NT / NICE 95 PC network system too)

  I'll appreciate a lot our Windows users will download it and 
trial with 256 colors modes and with the different applications
running simultaneously on the desktop.

  I'd like to mention that the better solution will be delivered when 
we will optimize our "ROOT color palette"  inherited from 
CERNLIB/HIGZ Fortran package. We are going to replace it with 
so-called "standard" one. The last is adopted with all current "Web" 
masters (Netscape, Microsoft Explrorer etc) and we expect it will 
reduce the "color" conflicts (under UNIX and under Windows) between 
those Web viewers and running ROOT-based applications at least (and 
with the most Windows applications too).

  I am looking forward hearing your kind feedback soon

     With my best regards,
                                    Valery
