/**
* This package provides classes for reading and writing PowerPaint
* data structures to files or to the clipboard. It implements a form of
* serialization completely separate from the normal Java serialization
* process. In fact, the only class in all of PowerPaint that is Serializable
* using Java's process is GroupDrawObject, used when transferring draw
* objects to and from the clipboard. All other classes must be serialized
* using this package instead. The rationale for doing this is threefold:
* first of all, we have much greater control over the serialization
* process and know exactly what is being serialized; second of all, the
* serialization process is no longer tied down to Java, so PowerPaint
* files can still be read and written if PowerPaint is ported to another
* language; third of all, we can serialize objects that are part of
* AWT or Swing that are not serializable using Java's serialization process,
* such as Shapes.
