51 <H1>AliRoot - Framework for ALICE software development</H1>
55 <B>AliRoot</B> is the ALICE Off-line framework for simulation,
56 reconstruction and analysis.
58 <P> Except for GEANT3.21 and some remaining legacy code which is packaged
59 as shared libraries, this framework is based on the Object Oriented
60 programming paradigm, and it is written in C++.
62 <P> It uses the <A HREF="http://root.cern.ch">ROOT</A> system as a
63 foundation on which the framework and all applications are built.
