PlexofCps implementation

[Praveen Mathew <pr...@in.ibm.com>]

Hi Ryan,
                  According to spec:
Algorithm to determine the bounds of a paragraph containing a certain 
character in a complex file
When a document is recorded in non-complex format, the bounds of the 
paragraph that contains a particular character can be found by calculating 
the FC coordinate of the character, searching the bin table to find an FKP page 
that describes that FC, fetching that FKP, and then searching the FKP to find the interval in 
the rgfc that encloses the character. The bounds of the interval are the fcFirst 
and fcLim of the containing paragraph. Every character greater than or 
equal to fcFirst and less than fcLim is part of the containing paragraph.

Going by the above explanation we need to search the bintable for the Fc 
of a particular character. But in our current implementation we dont have 
a field for "rgFc" in PlexOfCps Class. For any PlexOfCps like plcfPcd this is required to get the Fc of a character.
But we have that in the PropertyNode class as Start & End fields. Should 
we have the field "rgFc" in PlexOfCps so that it Resembles the actual 
dataStructure??

Thanks & Regards
Praveen

PlexOfCps is more of a utility structure for reading and writing from the
file. We are not concerned with FCs anyway, we only care about CPs because
FCs are based on file locations and the file location may change.

How is everything going? I am currently working on Tables and Lists.
