ost::BaseObject::BaseObject()
       This constructor is used in serialisation processes. It is called in CreateNewInstance in order to create
       an instance of the class to have Read() called on it.

   virtualost::BaseObject::~BaseObject()[virtual]
       Default destructor.

BaseObject.

       This object is the base for all Persistent data which is not natively serialised by the
       Persistence::Engine

       It registers itself with the Persistence::TypeManager using a global constructor function. A matching
       deregister call is made in a global destructor, to allow DLL's to use the Persistence::Engine in a main
       executable.

       Persistable objects must never maintain bad pointers. If a pointer doesn't point to something valid, it
       must be NULL. This is so the persistence engine knows whether to allocate memory for an object or whether
       the memory has been pre-allocated.

       Base class for classes that will be persistent.

virtualconstchar*ost::BaseObject::getPersistenceID()const[virtual]
       This returns the ID of the persistent object (Its type)

   virtualboolost::BaseObject::read(Engine&archive)[virtual]
       This method is used to read from a Persistence::Engine It is not equivalent to the >> operator as it does
       no typesafety or anything.

   virtualboolost::BaseObject::write(Engine&archive)const[virtual]
       This method is used to write to the Persistence::Engine It is not equivalent to the << operator as it
       writes only the data and not the object type etc.
