  <dt> public interface <b>Cloneable</b>
</dl>
A class implements the <code>Cloneable</code> interface to 
 indicate to the <code>clone</code> method in class 
 <code>Object</code> that it is legal for that method to make a 
 field-for-field copy of instances of that class. 
 <p>
 Attempts to clone instances that do not implement the 
 <code>Cloneable</code> interface result in the exception 
 <code>CloneNotSupportedException</code> being thrown.
