Detailed Description

The class from which all other objects in Toten are derived from.

TObject implements reference counting for objects. It is recommended that only these methods be used for memory management on TObject classes and its derivatives.

All TObject classes and its derivatives manage their own memory. For example, if you pass it a character pointer, you can free it independent of the class as it makes its own copy and frees it as it needs to. Note that in get methods the pointer returned is NOT A COPY, SO YOU MAY NOT FREE IT!
