Class Description

                                                                      
 TTimer                                                               
                                                                      
 Handles synchronous and a-synchronous timer events. To make use of   
 this class one can use one of the threee cases:                      
   -sub-class TTimer and implement Notify() and Remove() (if timer    
    has not been added to the gSystem timer list).                    
   -Give a pointer of an object to be notified.                       
   -Specify a command string to be executed by the interpreter        
 Without sub-classing one can use the HasTimedOut() method.           
 Use Reset() to reset the timer after expiration. To disable a timer  
 remove it using Remove() or destroy it.                              
                                                                      

 Create timer that times out in ms milliseconds. If mode == kTRUE then
 the timer is synchronous else a-synchronous. The default is synchronous.
 Add a timer to the system eventloop by doing: gSystem->AddTimer().

 Create timer that times out in ms milliseconds. If mode == kTRUE then
 the timer is synchronous else a-synchronous. The default is synchronous.
 Add a timer to the system eventloop by doing: gSystem->AddTimer().
 obj->HandleTimer will be called by Notify

 Create timer that times out in ms milliseconds. If mode == kTRUE then
 the timer is synchronous else a-synchronous. The default is synchronous.
 Add a timer to the system eventloop by doing: gSystem->AddTimer().
 the interpreter will execute command from Notify

 Check if timer timed out.

 Notify when timer times out

 Reset the timer.

 Set the interpreter command to be executed at time out

 Set the object to be notified  at time out

 Remove timer from system timer list. This requires that a timer
 has been placed in the system timer list (using TurnOn()).
 If a TTimer subclass is placed on another list, override TurnOff() to
 remove the timer from the correct list.

 Add the timer to the system timer list. If a TTimer subclass has to be
 placed on another list, override TurnOn() to add the timer to the correct
 list.
