28 February 1999:
 - A number of changes have been made to some of 
 the header files for Project 2:
     a) since LinkedList has a pointer data member, it
   should have a copy constructor.  One has been added.
     b) it is not necessary for DlNode to be a friend of
   LinkedList.  It does no harm as is, but change it
   if you wish.
     c) in ListIterator, SetList has been made inline.
     d) in DlNode, all the mutators and accessors have
   been made inline.

 - The Project 2 header files for ArrayList and

  and destructor originally were of the form:

      LinkedList<T>( ... )
  The use of the <T> parameter in the constructor 
  is not used in the text and has therefore been removed 
  from the headers in this project.

to make the parameter const.  The Project 1 description has 
been modified accordingly.
