class SignStatus  from IGESSelect    inherits Signature  from IFSelect

    ---Purpose : Gives D.E. Status under the form i,j,k,l (4 figures)
    --           i for BlankStatus
    --           j for SubordinateStatus
    --           k for UseFlag
    --           l for Hierarchy
    --           
    --           For matching, allowed shortcuts
    --           B(Blanked) or V(Visible) are allowed instead of  i
    --           I(Independant=0), P(Physically Dep.=1), L(Logically Dep.=2) or
    --             D(Dependant=3) are allowed instead of  j
    --           These letters must be given in their good position
    --           For non-exact matching :
    --           a letter (see above), no comma : only this status is checked
    --           nothing or a star between commas : this status is OK

uses CString, Transient, AsciiString, InterfaceModel

is

    Create returns mutable SignStatus;

    Value   (me; ent : any Transient; model : InterfaceModel) returns CString;
    ---Purpose : Returns the value (see above)

    Matches (me; ent : Transient; model : InterfaceModel;
    	    	 text : AsciiString; exact : Boolean)
	returns Boolean  is redefined;
    ---Purpose : Performs the match rule (see above)
