// Portsmf (also known as Allegro):
// music representation system, with
//      extensible in-memory sequence structure
//      upward compatible with MIDI
//      implementations in C++ and Serpent
//      external, text-based representation
//      compatible with Aura
//
// SERIALBUFFER CLASS
// 
// The Serial_buffer class is defined to support serialization and
// unserialization. A Serial_buffer is just a block of memory with
// a length and a read/write pointer. When writing, it can expand. 
//
// SERIALIZATION
//
// The Alg_track class has static members:
//    ser_buf -- a Serial_buffer
// When objects are serialized, they are first written to 
// ser_buf, which is expanded whenever necessary. Then, when
// the length is known, new memory is allocated and the data
// is copied to a correctly-sized buffer and returned to caller.
// The "external" (callable from outside the library) 
// serialization functions are:
//    Alg_track::serialize()
//    Alg_seq::serialize()
// The "internal" serialization functions to be called from within
// the library are:
//    Alg_track::serialize_track(bool text)
//    Alg_seq::serialize_seq(bool text)
//    Alg_track::serialize_parameter(
//            Alg_parameter *parm, bool text)
// These internal serialize functions append data to ser_buf The text 
// flag says to write an ascii representation as opposed to binary.
//  
// UNSERIALIZATION:
//
// The Alg_track class has a static member: 
//     unserialize(char *buffer, long len)
// that will unserialize anything -- an Alg_track or an Alg_seq.
// No other function should be called from outside the library.
// Internal unserialize functions are:
//     Alg_seq::unserialize_seq()
//     Alg_track::unserialize_track()
//     Alg_track::unserialize_parameter(Alg_parameter_ptr parm_ptr)
// Just as serialization uses ser_buf for output, unserialization uses
// unser_buf for reading. unser_buf is another static member of Alg_track.
