/// \file
/// \ingroup tutorial_net
/// This script shows how to make a simple iterative server that
/// can receive TMemFile from multiple clients and merge them into
/// a single file without block.
///
/// Note: This server assumes that the client will reset the histogram
/// after each upload to simplify the merging.
///
/// This server can accept connections while handling currently open connections.
/// Compare this script to hserv.C that blocks on accept.
/// In this script a server socket is created and added to a monitor.
/// A monitor object is used to monitor connection requests on
/// the server socket. After accepting the connection
/// the new socket is added to the monitor and immediately ready
/// for use. Once two connections are accepted the server socket
/// is removed from the monitor and closed. The monitor continues
/// monitoring the sockets.
///
/// To run this demo do the following:
///   - Open three windows
///   - Start ROOT in all three windows
///   - Execute in the first window: .x fastMergerServer.C
///   - Execute in the second and third windows: .x treeClient.C
///
/// \macro_code
