Detailed Description

A class which represents the application as an object.

In order to create a new OFApplication, you should create a class conforming to the optional OFApplicationDelegate protocol and put OF_APPLICATION_DELEGATE(NameOfYourClass) in the .m file of that class.

When the application is about to be terminated, applicationWillTerminate: (OFApplicationDelegate-p) will be called on the delegate and an OFApplicationWillTerminateNotification will be sent.
