Introduction

This paper is a companion to the previous paper Nichols et al. (1992) which gives an overview of the problems that these C++ classes are designed to solve. It is a collection of manual pages describing my C++ work this summer, with a short extra explanation preceeding each page. It is intended as a reference document for someone who wants more details about the code that we have written. It is probably most useful to a reader who is already familiar with C++.

The manual pages are in an order such that every class or function is listed after anything that it depends on. Figure 1 is a schematic of the dependencies between different sections of the code. A line on the plot indicates that the lower class or function depends on the upper. A thick line indicates actual C++ derivation.
