                                 STREAM OBJECT DEFINITION
                                             
   A Stream object is something which accepts a stream of text.
   
   The creation methods will vary on the type of Stream Object.  All creation
   methods return a pointer to the stream type below.
   
   As you can see, but the methods used to write to the stream and close it are
   pointed to be the object itself.

   These are the common methods of all streams.  They should be

   The put_block method was write, but this upset systems which had macros for
   write().
