   Dear Root team,
   I find the documentation about the new ROOT GUI classes :

http://root.cern.ch/cgi-bin/print_hit_bold.pl/root/hepvis98/newgui.html?GUIC
lasses#first_hit

extremely scarce. Also the descriptions associated with the classes
TGMainFrame, TG... is very very short. The results is that many questions
arise, among which I will select 3 :

   (1) - Why do you give the label "GUI" to TGMainFrame, TG..., and not to
TCanvas ? What do you get more with TGMainFrame ?
   (2) - Do these new classes work under Windows NT ? (Looking at the
questions on Roottalk, it seams that they were certainly not working on NT
in the past, but what is the status now ?). If not, have you a guess for the
date where they will be available for NT ?
   (3) - It seams, according to the example given, that these new TG classes
impose a new main program. Does it prevent to make shared libraries as
before ?

Thanks in advance.
