// extern "C" void deleteALStorage( hALStorage this_object )

// ARGUMENTS:
//
// this_object : A handle for (pointer to) the storage object that

//
// RETURNS
//
// Nothing, this is a destructor.
//
// DESCRIPTION
//
// This is the C/VB translation routine that allows you to access the
// C++ destructor ALStorage::~ALStorage(). This function checks its
// single handle argument for correct type (in debug mode), then casts
// and calls the dtor.
//
// Note that since the destructor is virtual, you will actually be
// going to the destructor for your derive class.
//
// The ALStorage destructor does a fair amount of work, so you might
// want to check it out in STORAGE.CPP.

//
// monitor : A handle for (pointer to) an ALMonitor object. This
// object is going to be assigned to the storage object.
//
// RETURNS
//
// Nothing.
//
// DESCRIPTION
//
// This is the C/VB translation routine that allows you to access the
// C++ data member ALStorage::mpMonitor. This function checks its
// two handle arguments for correct type (in debug mode), then casts
// and assigns.
//
// Normally, assignment of monitor objects to storage objects is done
// inside the member functions of ALArchiveBase. However, if you want
// to use a monitor for some operation you are performing on your own,
// such as a batch file copy, you will have to use this function (along
// with a couple of others) to get things to work properly.
//
// Note that 0 is a valid value for a monitor.
//
// To see how the monitor actually works, check out ARCHIVEB.CPP,
// and BARGRAPH.CPP or WINMON.CPP.

// RETURNS
//
// AL_SUCCESS, or some other error code.
//
// DESCRIPTION
//
// This is the C/VB translation routine that allows you to access the
// C++ member function ALStorage::Delete(). This function checks its
// handle argument for correct type (in debug mode), then casts
// and calls Delete().
//
// Delete() is used to delete the underlying physical object associated
// with a storage object, for example, a disk file. The implementation
// of this function will vary widely across derived classes.
//
// The C/VB translation code doesn't offer much insight into the operation
// of ALStorage::Delete(). See FILESTOR.CPP and MEMSTORE.CPP for an

// DESCRIPTION
//
// This is the C/VB translation routine that allows you to access the

//
// This function changes the name in the ALStorage object, but it doesn't
// change the underlying name of the physical object (if there is one.)
// To do that, you need to call ALStorageRename().

// RETURNS

//
// DESCRIPTION
//
// This is the C/VB translation routine that allows you to access the

//

// DESCRIPTION
//
// This is the C/VB translation routine that allows you to access the

//
// GetSize() is not a virtual function, it simply provides access to
