A typical example is the <B>String</B> class.<P>This abstract class is useful for implementing functionality, that is inherited by such classes as:<P><UL><LI>IdArray</LI><LI>String (ByteArray)</LI><LI>IntArray</LI></UL>In addition, this class is necessary for compatibility with Stepstone's ICpak101.<P><B>Note:</B> 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.<P><H2>Method types</H2><H2>Methods</H2>
