/************************************************************************
* This example shows how to use the TGo4ObjectClient class
* to receive any registered root object from a running Go4 analysis.
* The instance of TGo4ObjectClient stores all information required to
* connect, like hostname, port,  name of the database, password.
* This information is set in the class constructor, but can be changed
* with methods
*       SetHost(const Text_t*), SetPort(Int_t)
*       SetBase(const Text_t*), SetPasswd(const Text_t*)
* without destroying the client object.
* The connection to Go4 object server is established anew at any
* time an object or the list of names is requested from the server,
* and disconnected again after the object is received.
* Method
*      TGo4AnalysisObjectNames* TGo4ObjectClient::RequestNamesList()
* requests the go4 nameslist object from the specified object server
+ and delivers pointer to the object when received. Nameslist object
* has to be deleted by the user of the client object afterwards.
* Returns 0 in case of error.
* Method
*      TObject* TGo4ObjectClient::RequestObject(const Text_t*)
* requests a root object by name from the specified object server
+ and delivers pointer to the object when received. Object
* has to be deleted by the user of the client afterwards.
* Returns 0 in case of error or object not found. Name string may
* contain the full path to the object in the go4 folder structure
*********************
* The example expects the client parameters host,port,base,passwd,
* and a (in this case) dummy command string.
* as command line parameters. Then a command input loop starts.
* Typing the object name will request object and draw it on the
* canvas, if histogram. Other objects are just printed.
* Typing "dir" will request and printout the list of objects
* available on the server.
* Typing "exit" will finish the object client.
