/*
 * class ALCompressedObject
 *
 * DESCRIPTION
 *
 * This is the class definition for ALCompressedObject.  A compressed
 * object is a very simple artifact that contains some compressed data,
 * a checksum, and a couple of length variables.  No comments, no engine
 * data, no archive data, nothing else.  This give this type of object
 * a very low overhead.  It also assumes that when you create a compressed
 * object using a storage object and a compression engine that you will
 * know what type of storage object and compression engine to use when
 * expanding it.
 *
 * If you decide you want to add some private data to your compressed
 * object, it isn't hard.  Just derive a new class, and implement the
 * two virtual functions defined here to read and write your own private
 * data during compression and decompression.
 *
 * DATA MEMBERS
 *
 *  mpCompressionEngine  : A pointer to the compression engine that will
 *                         be used by this object.  This is assigned when
 *                         the object is created, and used to insert or
 *                         extract objects.
 *
 *  mpStorageObject      : A pointer to the storage object where this
 *                         object will live.
 *
 *  mStatus              : A standard ArchiveLib status object.
 *
 * MEMBER FUNCTIONS
 *
 *  ALCompressedObject()  : The only constructor for ALCompressedObject.
 *  ~ALCompressedObject() : The virtual destructor.
 *  operator new()        : Memory allocation operator, used in DLL only.
 *  WriteHeaderData()     : Virtual function to allow for storage of
 *                          customized data in the object header.
 *  ReadHeaderData()      : The virtual complement to the previous function,
 *                          lets you read in some customized data.
 *  Insert()              : Insert a single storage object into the Compressed
 *                          object.
 *  Extract()             : Extract the storage object from the Compressed
 *                          object.
 *
 * REVISION HISTORY
 *
 *  May 26, 1994  1.0A  : First release
 *
