#ifndef INFORM_H
#define INFORM_H
 
/*
 * Inform - takes messages and displays them to the given ostream.
 *      A message is sent to an Inform object by treating it as an ostream,
 *      then ending the message by sending the 'inform' manipulator.  In
 *      fact, Inform works much like an ostream, although it may actually
 *      just use stdio for I/O.
 *
 *      Each message is assigned the current 'level of interest'; the lower
 *      the level, the more important it is.  Each Inform object is also
 *      set for a current level; messages with a level <= the current level
 *      are displayed.  Levels run from 1 ... 5.  Thus, setting the level of
 *      Inform object to 0 will turn off printing of all messages.
 *
 *      By default, a new Inform object will only print out the message on
 *      node 0.  You may change the node on which this prints with the
 *      'setPrintNode(int)' method; if the argument is 'INFORM_ALL_NODES',
 *      the message will be printed on ALL nodes, not just one.  The final
 *      argument to the constructor may also be set to the node to print on.
