Version 2.00/10 has been installed today. See http://root.cern.ch/root/html/examples/V2.00.txt.html release notes for a description of the changes. Due to an upgrade of our machines to Linux Redhat5, we have lost access to a Redhat4.2 machine. The file on the Web for Redhat4.2 is still the old version 2.00/09. However, the distribution kit includes the Makefile to build Root under Redhat4.2 The next release 2.00/11 is scheduled for end August. We hope to include in this next release a Latex formula processor such that formula including subscripts/superscripts, fractions, Intregrals, Sums, etc will be supported both on the screen and Postscript. Our current prototype follows the Latex notation. However, Latex expects the character \ (backslash) as a escape character for several operators. The backslash is not a convenient escape character for C++ because it has to be escaped itself in character strings. We would welcome comments and suggestions on this topic.
