Oops!  I'm sorry for not being more explicit.  MSVC means Microsoft Visual C++, and
MDI means Multiple Document Interface.  The most immediate obstacle to incorporating
the ROOT classes into my application, however, doesn't reside in calling functions
or instantiating ROOT classes.  It comes with linking to the ROOT libraries.  Even
if I don't have any references to ROOT in my program, the ROOT library  RTTI
overloading of new and delete seem to be (perhaps) interfering with the Microsoft
RTTI implemented in Multiple Document Interface applications,  ... or the ROOT
library new and delete overloads are simply not compatible with what Bill Gates
wants. :)

Is there anyone out there in Root Land knowledgeable in  Microsoft Visual C++
programming  and ROOT?  Is it futile to try to merge the two?
