// Base class for persistent properties of filters
// (i.e. filter properties in saved graphs)
 
// The simplest way to use this is:
// 1. Arrange for your filter to inherit this class
// 2. Implement in your class WriteToStream and ReadFromStream
//    These will override the "do nothing" functions here.
// 3. Change your NonDelegatingQueryInterface to handle IPersistStream
// 4. Implement SizeMax to return the number of bytes of data you save.
//    If you save UNICODE data, don't forget a char is 2 bytes.
// 5. Whenever your data changes, call SetDirty()
//
// At some point you may decide to alter, or extend the format of your data.
// At that point you will wish that you had a version number in all the old
// saved graphs, so that you can tell, when you read them, whether they
// represent the old or new form.  To assist you in this, this class
// writes and reads a version number.
// When it writes, it calls GetSoftwareVersion()  to enquire what version
// of the software we have at the moment.  (In effect this is a version number
// of the data layout in the file).  It writes this as the first thing in the data.
// If you want to change the version, implement (override) GetSoftwareVersion().
// It reads this from the file into mPS_dwFileVersion before calling ReadFromStream,
// so in ReadFromStream you can check mPS_dwFileVersion to see if you are reading
// an old version file.
// Normally you should accept files whose version is no newer than the software
// version that's reading them.
 
 
// CPersistStream
//
// Implements IPersistStream.
// See 'OLE Programmers Reference (Vol 1):Structured Storage Overview' for
// more implementation information.
