#
# 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).
