//------------[ Counter32 Class ]------------------------------------------
// The counter class allows all the functionality of unsigned
// 32 bit integers but is recognized as a distinct SMI type. Counter32
// class objects may be set or get into Vb objects.
//
// This class does not behave as defined by the abstract model
// in RFC 1155 section 3.2.3.3

class ACE_Export Counter32: public SnmpUInt32
  // = TITLE
  //     Defines the member functions for the Counter32 concrete class 
  //     This class implements RFC 1155 Counter Object and is named
  //     Counter32 after the RFC1902 redefinition of V1 SMI datatypes
