TChain

I have a bunch of root files which contain both histogram and tree
objects. I know there is a HOW TO to merge the root files together but
there are several reasons I do not want to merge the root files together
(file can get pretty huge.)

On the other hand, TChain can chain the tree objects from the different
files together.  I don't think TChain does anything to the histogram, am
I right?  I find that it would also be desirable to chain the
histogram objects as well, i.e. adding the histogram. I don't know how
feasible it is to do or is it a desirable feature to have?

Aside:
I was trying to bypass this problem by trying to write the histogram
and tree to separate root file in the same program. This way, I can merge
the histogram files and chain the tree files. But I was not successful.
Does anyone know how to do this?
