/// \file
/// \ingroup tutorial_net
/// Client program which creates and fills 2 histograms and a TTree.
/// Every 1000000 fills the histograms and TTree is send to the server which displays the histogram.
///
/// To run this demo do the following:
///   - Open at least 2 windows
///   - Start ROOT in the first windows
///   - Execute in the first window: .x parallelMergeServer.C
///   - Execute in the other windows: root.exe -b -l -q .x 'parallelMergeClient.C("<socket path printed by server>")'
///     (You can put it in the background if wanted).
/// If you want to run the hserv.C on a different host, just change
/// "localhost" in the TSocket ctor below to the desired hostname.
///
