- This Turbo Pascal 5.5 unit builds on the OBJECTS.PAS file on
- disk three of the TP package. The Objects unit provides some
- excellent linked-list capabilities, but it doesn't allow arbi-
- trary placement of a node on the list. The OBJECTA unit offers a
- decendent, LinkList, which provides two methods: LinkList.Before,
- to place a node just before some other node in the list, and
- LinkList.After, to place a node just after some other node in the
- list.
-
- LinkList.Init and LinkList.Done are included because the TP
- 5.5 OOP guide recommends these common procedures. The List
- ancestor calls them Clear and Delete, respectively, which I found
- extremely odd since Borland is the one calling for a standard set
- of method identifiers....

- Version 1.00: released to the public domain on 8 July 1989.

-
-
- PROCEDURE LinkList.Init;
-
- This procedure initializes the LinkList.
-
-
- PROCEDURE LinkList.Before(TheNode : NodePtr;
- BeforeNode : NodePtr);
-
- Places TheNode in the LinkList just before BeforeNode.
-
-
- PROCEDURE LinkList.After(TheNode : NodePtr;
- AfterNode : NodePtr);
-
- Places TheNode in the LinkList just after AfterNode.
-
-
- FUNCTION LinkList.Total(TheNode : NodePtr) : LONGINT;
-
- This function returns a number corresponding to the number
- of nodes on the LinkList. It starts counting from TheNode^.
- Therefore, to get a total count of all nodes on the LinkList, use
- LinkListVar.Total(LinkListVar.First). (Remember, we inherit the
- "First" function due to OOP.)
-
-
- PROCEDURE LinkList.Done;
-
- This procedure deletes all nodes from the list.
