>   class ListItem : public CCObject

    Author:     Mario_Shamtani (Xara Group Ltd) <camelotdev@xara.com>
    Created:    13/4/1993
    Base Class: CObject
    Purpose:    
        A list item is an abstract class which is used to derive all objects 
        which are linked together in lists.  It has no member functions because
        all useful operations are defined in the List class.  The reason 
        for doing this is that list operations may need to alter the list 
        header.

    Errors:     None.

**********************************************************************************************/
/*
  Technical notes:
  
  When using lists with derived listitems it is necessary to explicitly cast from a listitem 
  pointer to the 'derived listitem' pointer.  
  
  e.g.  List x;
        MyListItem* y;
        ....              
        y = x.GetHead();                    // Wrong!!! need to cast to MyListItem* because
                                            //    GetHead() returns a ListItem*   
        
        y = (MyListItem*) x.GetHead();      // This will work honest!
                                             
  (This is only necesary when retrieving items from the list because type convertion from a 
   derived class to a base class is automatic.)
   
   
  You also have to do the cast if the function call is nested within another function call.
  
  e.g.  void Display(MyListItem*);
        ....    
        Display(x.GetHead());               // Error!
        ....
        Display((MyListItem*)x.GetHead());  // OK!
