The base class, smile::CBasicIOSnapshot, is used as the common interface for reading and writing Nbody snapshots to disk. The snapshots are provided by smile::CPointMassSet. Derived classes implement the data storage in various formats. Helper routines create an instance of the class corresponding to a given format string or to the actual file format.
