// Description: This header file contains the BTranslator based object for
//              BeOS R4.0 and R4.5 type translators, aka, the translators
//              that don't use the make_nth_translator() mechanism.
//
//              This class is used by the OpenBeOS BTranslatorRoster
//              so that R4x translators, post R4.5 translators and private
//              BTranslator objects could be accessed in the same way.
