  TTextStreamReader:
    Class that performs character based access to a stream. Copies entire stream
    into an internal buffer and then reads data from that buffer one character
    at a time. Characters can be put back on the stream. CRLF pairs are
    converted on the fly to single EOL character.
  }

    var
      fBuffer: string;
        {Stores all data read from stream}
      fIdx: Integer;
        {Cursor into buffer that indexes next character to be read}
    function GetCh: Char;
      {Read accessor for Ch property.
        @return Last character read, or EOF at end of file.
      }
  public
    const
      EOF = #0;   // character indicating end of file
      EOL = LF;   // character indicating end of line
    constructor Create(const Stm: TStream);
      {Class constructor. Creates reader for a stream and reads first character.
        @param Stm [in] Stream to be read.
      }
    function NextChar: Char;
      {Fetches next character from buffer.
        @return Character read (EOF at end of buffer and LF at end of line).
      }
    procedure PutBackChar;
      {Puts last read character back on the stream.
      }
    property Ch: Char read GetCh;
      {Last character read from stream (EOF if at end of stream and LF at end
      of line}
