                      The ob_spec field of an OBJECT
                        (The Object-Specific Field)


The ob_spec field contains different data depending on the object type as
in the union below:

typedef union obspecptr
{
    long            index;          /* type used for initialization  */
    union obspecptr *indirect;      /* ob_flags & INDIRECT           */
    bfobspec        obspec;         /* G_BOX, G_IBOX & G_BOXCHAR     */
    TEDINFO         *tedinfo;       /* G_TEXT, G_FTEXT, G_BOXTEXT &  */
                                    /* G_FBOXTEXT                    */
    ICONBLK         *iconblk;       /* G_ICON                        */
    CICONBLK        *ciconblk;      /* G_CICON - color icon          */
    BITBLK          *bitblk;        /* G_IMAGE                       */
    USERBLK         *userblk;       /* G_USERDEF                     */
    char            *free_string;   /* G_STRING, G_BUTTON & G_TITLE  */
} OBSPEC;
