.SH Class Description
.PP
This is an abstract superclass for Array classes, classes that provide some methods like 
.B
at:
or 
.B
charAt:
for indexing their contents, which are elements of some particular C type\&.  A typical example is the 
.B
String
class\&.
.PP
This abstract class is useful for implementing functionality, that is inherited by such classes as:
.RS 3
.br
* IdArray
.br
* String (ByteArray)
.br
* IntArray
.RE
.PP
In addition, this class is necessary for compatibility with Stepstone\&'s ICpak101\&.
.PP
.B
Note:

Because the Portable Object Compiler doesn\&'t provide any API for indexed variables, our Array classes, although interface compatible with those of ICpak101, do not allocate their contents as indexed variables\&.
