  IMPLEMENT_SERIAL( class_name, base_class_name, wSchema )
 
  Parameter         Description
 
  <class_name>      The actual name of the class (without quotes).
 
  <base_class_name> The name of the base class (without quotes).
 
  <wSchema>         Placeholder for future implementation. The class
                    schema number must not be -1. This is a "version
                    number" that will be encoded in the archive to enable
                    a deserializing program to identify and handle data
                    created by earlier program versions.
 
  Remarks
 
  Generates the C++ code necessary for a dynamic CObject-derived class
  with run-time access to the class name and position within the
  hierarchy. Use the IMPLEMENT_SERIAL macro in a .CPP module; then link
  the resulting object code only once. For more information, see "How to
  Derive a Class from CObject" in Chapter 8 of the <Class Libraries User's
  Guide>.
