Dear rooters

I am interested in remotely accessing a file containing histograms while it is
being updated in memory. pretty much like one can access static root files
with rootd or apache as described in the overview on pages 58 to 60.
basically i would like to expand the examples hcons.C and hprod.C in the
tutorials area so that hcons runs remotely on a different machine.
so it would be nice if one could do something like this

TMapFile *f = TMapFile::Create("root://b0rv04.fnal.gov:
5151/usr/people/wenzel/bin/root/myroot/hsimple.map")

Is there any way to implement such a feature?

thanks

Hans

P.S. root is a great tool and i really appreciate the prompt answers
