- // This is the header file for a name class that can store a name in
- // three parts and provide a string in any of four different formats
- // which can be used in any database requiring named of persons.
- // It is not immediately obvious, but it can also be used to store
- // the name of a city, county, state combination also and provide a
- // string in the correct format to be used in a location program.
