// Hello!

// These days I tried to use ROOT to draw some histograms like the ones
// shown at the ROOT webpages. It didn't work...

// Well, it's fine to have a C Interpreter, but I liked to use ROOT's
// functions in compiled programs. I hoped: some calls, and I have a pic/histogram...

// Why doesn't it work?
// It compiles w/o problems, but gives no output, esp. no grafical...
// Didn't I correctly understood the idea of ROOT at all? It seems to work fine
// via the interpreter (ROOT shell)...

// Sincerly yours, Andre Merzky.
