Module Name:

	iterator.hxx

Abstract:

	This module contains the declaration for the abstract ITERATOR class.
	ITERATORS are used to iterate over a CONTAINER allowing for multiple,
	simultaneous readers. ITERATORs maintain the currency needed to perform
	an iteration. This includes the current OBJECT in the CONTAINER and the
	currency needed to get the next or previous OBJECT. ITERATORs also 
	provide the capability of wrapping when the end or begin of the container
	is reached.

Environment:

	ULIB, User Mode
