What is in a Module ?

• Any object must have identity, state and behavior. A module instance's parameters, (it's private member data), give it identity.

• It's states and behaviors are what used to be called entry-points in A_C (which by the way were NOT fortran entry-points. Fortran entry points were supposed to be discouraged for portability reasons.)

• In the new system A_C's traditional entry-points now become class member fuctions for each state:

  • begin(job/run)

  • event

  • end(job/run), abort

  • talkTo
