 *      HBClass() is used in the creation of all classes
 *  $SYNTAX$
 *      oClass := HBClass():New("TMyClass")
 *
 *        -or-
 *
 *      HBClass() is usually accessed by defining a class with the commands
 *      defined in hbclass.h:
 *
 *        CLASS HBGetList    // Calls HBClass() to create the HBGetList class
 *           ...
 *        ENDCLASS
 *  $ARGUMENTS$
 *
 *  $RETURNS$
 *      An instance of the HBClass Class. This special object's :New()
 *      method can then create the classes you define.
 *  $DESCRIPTION$
 *      HBClass is a class that ...
 *      The class methods are as follows:
 *
 *        New()                 Create a new instance of the class
 *  $EXAMPLES$
 *      FUNCTION TestObject()
 *         LOCAL oObject
 *
 *         oObject := HBClass():New("TMyClass")
 *         oObject:End()
 *
 *         RETURN NIL
 *  $STATUS$
 *      R
 *  $COMPLIANCE$
 *      Object Oriented syntax in Harbour is compatible with CA-Cl*pper.

 *      However CA-Cl*pper only allowed creation of objects from a few standard
 *      classes, and did not let the programmer create new classes.

 *      In Harbour, you can create your own classes--complete with
 *      Methods, Instance Variables, Class Variables and Inheritance.
 *      Entire applications can be designed and coded in Object Oriented
 *      style.
