The {\tt DV} structure has three fields.
\begin{itemize}
\item
{\tt int size} : present size of the vector.
\item
{\tt int maxsize} : maximum size of the vector.
\item
{\tt int owned} : owner flag for the data.
When {\tt owned = 1}, storage for {\tt owned} {\tt double}'s
has been allocated by this object and can be free'd by the object.
When {\tt owned == 0} but {\tt size > 0 }, this object points to
entries that have been allocated elsewhere, and these entries will
not be free'd by this object.
\item
{\tt double *vec} : 
pointer to the base address of the {\it double} vector
\end{itemize}
The {\tt size}, {\tt maxsize}, {\tt nowned} and {\tt vec} fields 
need never be accessed directly --- 
see the 
{\tt DV\_size()},
{\tt DV\_maxsize()},
{\tt DV\_owned()},
{\tt DV\_entries()},
{\tt DV\_sizeAndEntries()} methods.
