#
# module to manage channel lists & data
#
# This is the base class for all channel operations, which is everything to do 
# with input and output really.
#
# The instance variable in the outside world will be generally be called $dxchann
#
# This class is 'inherited' (if that is the goobledegook for what I am doing)
# by various other modules. The point to understand is that the 'instance variable'
# is in fact what normal people would call the state vector and all useful info
# about a connection goes in there.
#
# Another point to note is that a vector may contain a list of other vectors. 
# I have simply added another variable to the vector for 'simplicity' (or laziness
# as it is more commonly called)
#
# PLEASE NOTE - I am a C programmer using this as a method of learning perl
# firstly and OO about ninthly (if you don't like the design and you can't 
# improve it with better OO by make it smaller and more efficient, then tough).
