virtual KcsShareable *attach(
 	long howMany = 1,
 	KcsAttachType aAttachFlag = KcsAttMem,
 	KcsStatus *aStatus = NULL);

Use this method when you want to share an object already allocated. It returns a pointer to the shared object. All shared objects must dettach() instead of using delete. aAttachFlag and aStatus are only used with the KcsLoadable class override.

void dettach(long howMany = 1,
 	KcsAttachType aDettachFlag = KcsAttMem,
 	KcsStatus *aStatus = NULL);

Deletes an object. The actual deallocation only happens when no other object is sharing this object. aDettachFlag and aStatus are only used with the KcsLoadable class override.

static long getGlobalCount();

Returns the total number of objects sharing any other objects in the system. Use for debugging. 

long getUseCount() {return(useCount);};

Returns the current number of objects sharing this object. Use for debugging. 

KcsShareable(KcsStatus *status, long nUse = 1);
