//#!
//#! This file is a template to guide you in creating a header file
//#! for your new class.   By following this template, you will create
//#! a permanent reference document for your class, suitable for both
//#! the novice client programmer, the seasoned veteran, and anyone in 
//#! between.  It is essential that you write the documentation portions 
//#! of this file with as much care as you do the source code.
//#!
//#! If you are unfamilar with the AIPS++ header style please refer to
//#! template-class-h.

//#!                         Replacement Tokens
//#!                         ------------------
//#!
//#! These are character strings enclosed in angle brackets, on a commented
//#! line.  Two are found on the first line of this file:
//#!
//#!   <ClassFileName.h> <ClassName>
//#!
//#! You should remove the angle brackets, and replace the characters within
//#! the brackets with names specific to your class.  Mimic the capitalization
//#! and punctuation of the original.  For example, you would change
//#!
//#!   <ClassFileName.h>  to   LatticeIter.h
//#!   <ClassName>        to   LatticeIterator
//#!
//#! Another replacement token will be found in the "include guard" just
//#! a few lines below.
