Class Description

                                                                      
 TMessage                                                             
                                                                      
 Message buffer class used for serializing objects and sending them   
 over a network. This class inherits from TBuffer the basic I/O       
 serializer.                                                          
                                                                      

 Create a TMessage object for storing objects. The "what" integer
 describes the type of message. Predifined ROOT system message types
 can be found in MessageTypes.h. Make sure your own message types are
 unique from the ROOT defined message types (i.e. 0 - 10000 are
 reserved by ROOT). In case you OR "what" with kMESS_ACK, the message
 will wait for an acknowledgement from the remote side. This makes
 the sending process synchronous.

 Create a TMessage object for reading objects. The objects will be
 read from buf. Use the What() method to get the message type.

 Change a buffer that was received into one that can be send, i.e.
 forward a just received message.

 Reset the message buffer so we can use (i.e. fill) it again.

 Set the message length at the beginning of the message buffer.
 This method is only called by TSocket::Send().

 Using this method one can change the message type a posteriory.
