 I do believe you! What I wanted to do was to create a class that stored an
arbitrarily long string of bits, and performed a number of bit-wise operations
on them (e.g. AND, OR, cross-over). I thought I could subclass off Array_c so I
wouldn't have to bother about allocation and reallocation of memory.
After e-mailing swarm-support, I thought I might try subclassing from
SwarmObject, and having the Array as an instance variable. I'm still
trying to get that working. What would be involved with using the
Customize interface?
