/**
 * <b>NOTE:</b> The <code>Event</code> class is obsolete and is 
 * available only for backwards compatilibility.  It has been replaced 
 * by the <code>AWTEvent</code> class and its subclasses.
 * <p>
 * <code>Event</code> is a platform-independent class that
 * encapsulates events from the platform's Graphical User
 * Interface in the Java 1.0 event model. In Java 1.1
 * and later versions, the <code>Event</code> class is maintained
 * only for backwards compatibilty. The information in this
 * class description is provided to assist programmers in
 * converting Java 1.0 programs to the new event model.
 * <p>
 * In the Java 1.0 event model, an event contains an
 * {@link Event#id} field
 * that indicates what type of event it is and which other
 * <code>Event</code> variables are relevant for the event.
 * <p>
 * For keyboard events, {@link Event#key}
 * contains a value indicating which key was activated, and
 * {@link Event#modifiers} contains the
 * modifiers for that event.  For the KEY_PRESS and KEY_RELEASE
 * event ids, the value of <code>key</code> is the unicode
 * character code for the key. For KEY_ACTION and
 * KEY_ACTION_RELEASE, the value of <code>key</code> is
 * one of the defined action-key identifiers in the
 * <code>Event</code> class (<code>PGUP</code>,
 * <code>PGDN</code>, <code>F1</code>, <code>F2</code>, etc).
