## Detailed Description

This is a class which provides basic reference-counting semantics.

It can be used in conjunction with the smart pointer template class csRef (see <ref.h>). This class itself provides no functionality beyond reference counting. It is intended that you should subclass csRefCount and add needed functionality.
