Name

      NCDF_Container

Purpose

---

      This is a beefed-up IDL_CONTAINER object written as a utility object
      for the NCDF_FILE object and related objects. In particular, two new
      container methods have been added. The FindByID method searches container
      objects by object ID, and the FindByName method searches container object
      by object name. If found, the object reference is returned. This object
      is a subclassed IDL_CONTAINER object and uses the IDL_CONTAINER
      initialization routine.
