I'm developing system for storing and handling the geophysical data and
considering the ROOT as the base for the system. Operating system is
Wind95/NT. I need some help to decide: "to use or not to use".

  1. The basic thing that interests me is to ROOT I/O system. There is many
implementations of systems for persistent objects: Borland's object
streaming, serialization in Microsoft's MFC, structured storage and
interface IPersistStorage in Microsoft's COM. What differs ROOT from these
systems by?
  2. About the class dictionary. Why not use proven object technologies as
CORBA or COM?
