        This talk provides an introducton to a fitting/analysis interface to RooFit and TMVA. The interface is available as a stand-alone package that can be compiled against ROOTv5.20, and comes with exampls of how to do a simple branching fraction fit, and how to set up a time-dependent CP violation PDF. More details, including the source code and a user guide, are available from http://pprc.qmul.ac.uk/~bevan/afit/
