<H1>AliRoot - Framework for ALICE software development</H1>

<p><br> 

<B>AliRoot</B> is the ALICE Off-line framework for simulation,
reconstruction and analysis.

<P> Except for GEANT3.21 and some remaining legacy code which is packaged
as shared libraries, this framework is based on the Object Oriented
programming paradigm, and it is written in C++.

<P> It uses the <A HREF="http://root.cern.ch">ROOT</A> system as a
foundation on which the framework and all applications are built.
