DEFINITION MODULE Table;

(*

   This module implements classes that allow the creation and maintenance
   of homogeneous tables of ordered objects. The internal structure of the
   table is an AVL Balanced Tree. The algorithms are based on an example
   given in Niklaus Wirth's "Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs". That
   book also gives a detailed description of AVL Balanced Trees.
