				Description: 
			
			
				 Block is a simple wrapper for an array class that limits usage as a pointer.
 
			
			   
			
				Public Methods: 
			
			
				
					  
					
					 
					
						Block 
					
					(const UInteger &); 
					

					 	Constructor, where size is the number of elements to allocate
 
					

					

					   
					

					virtual  
					
						~Block 
					
					(); 
					

					 	Default Destructor, needed to deallocate included pointer
 
					

					

					   
					

					 
					
						Block 
					
					(const Block<Type>&); 
					

					 	Copy Constructor to build from anonther array of same type
 
					

					

					   
					

					 
					
						Block 
					
					(const UInteger, Type*); 
					

					 	Constructor to build from a specified size and a low level array
 
					

					

					   
					

					Block&  
					
						operator = 
					
					(const Block<Type>&); 
					

					 	Assignment
 
					

					

					   
					

					virtual Type &  
					
						operator [] 
					
					(const UInteger &); 
					

					    
					

					

					   
					

					virtual const Type &  
					
						operator [] 
					
					(const UInteger &); 
					

					 	SubIndexing operator
 
					

					

					   
					

					const UInteger  
					
						size 
					
					(); 
					

					 	Reports number of elements allocated
 
					

					

					  
				
			
			  
			
				Protected Methods: 
			
			
				
					      
					
					 
					
						Block 
					
					( ); 
					

					 	Doesn't make sense to create blocks without a specified size.
 
					

					

					  
				
			
			
				Protected Members: 
			
			
				
					  
					
					

					UInteger  
					
						mySize; 
					
					

					 	The number of allocated elements
 
					

					

					   
					

					

					Type*  
					
						myBlock; 
					
					

					 	Low level pointer to array of type Type
