This file contains functions for classifying beats based after the
following beat is detected.

	ResetPostClassify() -- Resets static variables used by
		PostClassify()
	PostClassify() -- classifies each beat based on six preceding
		beats and the following beat.
	CheckPostClass() --  classifys beat type based on the last
		eight post classifications of that beat.
	CheckPCRhythm() -- returns the classification of the RR interval
		for this type of beat based its previous eight RR intervals.
