FILES

- RTree.h            The C++ templated RTree implementation. Well commented.
- Test.cpp           A simple test program, ported from the original C version.
- MemoryTest.cpp     A more rigourous test to validate memory use.
- README             This file.

TO BUILD

To build a test, compile only one of the test files with RTree.h.  
Both test files contain a main() function.
