//  Revision History
//   1 Dec 01  Add leading progress display strings (suggested by Toon Knapen)
//  20 May 01  Introduce several static_casts<> to eliminate warning messages
//             (Fixed by Beman, reported by Herve Bronnimann)
//  12 Jan 01  Change to inline implementation to allow use without library
//             builds. See docs for more rationale. (Beman Dawes) 
//  22 Jul 99  Name changed to .hpp
//  16 Jul 99  Second beta
