Class Description

                                                                      
 TTimer                                                               
                                                                      
 Handles synchronous and a-synchronous timer events. To make use of   
 this class one can use one of the three cases:                       
   - Sub-class TTimer and implement Notify() and Remove() (if timer   
     has not been added to the gSystem timer list).                   
   - Give a pointer of an object to be notified.                      
   - Specify a command string to be executed by the interpreter.      
 Without sub-classing one can also use the HasTimedOut() method.      
 Use Reset() to reset the timer after expiration. To disable a timer  
 remove it using Remove() or destroy it.                              
                                                                      

 Create timer that times out in ms milliseconds. If mode == kTRUE then
 the timer is synchronous else a-synchronous. The default is synchronous.
 Add a timer to the system eventloop by calling TurnOn().

 Create timer that times out in ms milliseconds. If mode == kTRUE then
 the timer is synchronous else a-synchronous. The default is synchronous.
 Add a timer to the system eventloop by calling TurnOn().
 The object's HandleTimer() will be called by Notify().

 Create timer that times out in ms milliseconds. If mode == kTRUE then
 the timer is synchronous else a-synchronous. The default is synchronous.
 Add a timer to the system eventloop by calling TurnOn().
 The interpreter will execute command from Notify().

 Check if timer timed out.

 Notify when timer times out. When a command string is executed
 the timer is implicitely reset. To stop the timer in that case
 call TurnOff(). When an object's HandleTimer() is called the timer
 has to be reset in that method.

 Reset the timer.

 Set the interpreter command to be executed at time out.

 Set the object to be notified  at time out.

 Remove timer from system timer list. This requires that a timer
 has been placed in the system timer list (using TurnOn()).
 If a TTimer subclass is placed on another list, override TurnOff() to
 remove the timer from the correct list.

 Add the timer to the system timer list. If a TTimer subclass has to be
 placed on another list, override TurnOn() to add the timer to the correct
 list.
