<p> This class defines an <code>equals()</code>
  method, that doesn't override the normal <code>equals(Object)</code> method
  defined in the base <code>java.lang.Object</code> class.&nbsp; Instead, it
  inherits an <code>equals(Object)</code> method from a superclass.
  The class should probably define a <code>boolean equals(Object)</code> method.
