| Change Log
| ============================================================================
| Author Date Change
| sbyrne 16 May 90 Improved error checking: you now cannot create a
| subclass of a class whose type is not compatible
| (i.e. non-variable subclass of a variable byte
| class).
|
| sbyrne 16 May 90 Minor changes to support preserving class definitions
| as long as possible (i.e. if you re-invoke the class
| definition method, it tries to re-use the existing
| class if possible).
|
| sbyrne 13 Jan 90 Began experimental addition of actual class
| definitions.
|
| sbyrne 25 Apr 89 created.
