Hi Bruce, it is not an acronym, just a name. The idea is to make a system that provides a solid ROOT on which other systems can grow (as you can see with Trees, Branches and Leafs we are deep in the fauna nomenclature -:)). Also, the name ROOT contains nicely the letters OO of Object Oriented. Cheers, Fons. O'NEEL Bruce wrote: > > Hi, > Silly question, but, what does ROOT stand for? Is it an acroynm?
