ATLFast, the ATLAS fast MonteCarlo based on ROOT is now available.
See http://root.cern.ch/root/News.html
You can download the complete source, makefile, README and examples.
You can also download the "Getting-started" manual.

ATLFast is an interesting application showing how to use several facets
of the ROOT system:
- How to organize a program in modules (the Makers).
- How to mix compiled and interpreted code.
- How to manage histograms in each module.
- How to use the TClonesArray class to store results.
- How to create a Root Tree using the TClonesArray.
- How to save the Run parameters in the output file.
- How to call Fortran from C++.
- How to build an event display class.
- How to use the Root browser.
