//+ Name DwParameter -- Class representing a MIME field body parameter
//+ Description
//. {\tt DwParameter} represents the {\it parameter} component of the
//. Content-Type header field as described in RFC-2045.  A parameter
//. consists of an attribute/value pair.  {\tt DwParameter} has member
//. functions for getting or setting a parameter's attribute and value.
//.
//. A {\tt DwParameter} object may be included in a list of {\tt DwParameter}
//. objects.  You can get the next {\tt DwParameter} object in the list by
//. calling the member function {\tt Next()}.

    //. {\tt DwParameter} object's string representation to the empty string
    //. and sets its parent to NULL.
    //.
    //. The second constructor is the copy constructor, which copies the
    //. string representation, attribute, and value from {\tt aParam}.
    //. The parent of the new {\tt DwParameter} object is set to NULL.
    //.
    //. The third constructor copies {\tt aStr} to the {\tt DwParameter}
    //. object's string representation and sets {\tt aParent} as its parent.
    //. The virtual member function {\tt Parse()} should be called immediately
    //. after this constructor in order to parse the string representation.
    //. Unless it is NULL, {\tt aParent} should point to an object of a class
    //. derived from {\tt DwMediaType}.

    //. representation are accessed.

    virtual void Assemble();
    //. This virtual function, inherited from {\tt DwMessageComponent},
    //. executes the assemble method for {\tt DwParameter} objects.
    //. It should be called whenever one of the object's attributes
    //. is changed in order to assemble the string representation from
