CodeSnip Old Code (SVN)

Replaced call to now removed Windows1252BytesOf routine with code that creates and uses a suitable encoding to perform the same function.

Removed all Windows-1252 helper code: string type, bytes array conversions and associated private helper class.

* Removed Windows1252CodePage and ASCIICodePage constants from UEncodings. They were duplicated by constants in TEncodingHelper.
* Updated affected code in UEncodings and UHTMLTemplate units.
* Improved XMLDoc commenting in UEncodings unit.

Revised to explicitly pass an encoding to the text stream reader object. Previously relied on default encoding which is not wise!

Corrected error in XML doc commenting.

* Re-commented unit in XMLDoc style.
* Made some minor tweaks to source along with some small refactorings.

* Changed default encoding to UTF-8.
* (Re)Commented the code XMLDoc style.

Tweaked and corrected commenting.

* Changed TTextRoutineDoc to use TStringWriter from SysUtils to create output string which is then converted written to a stream rather than TStrStreamWriter.
* Removed UStrStreamWriter unit from project now that TStrStreamWriter is no longer used anywhere.

Reimplemented reader and writer classes in UDataStreamIO unit:
* Deleted unused TDataStreamWriter class.
* Created new class heirachy for reader classes with common interface for text and binary reader objects. This meant creating a common abstract base class and renaming numerous methods and creating new implementations.
* Renamed several classes and methods of writer class.
* Text stream reader class changed to reject any non-MBCS encoding since its layout requires hex characters to only occupy one byte, which is not the case in Unicode encodings.

Updated using units re class and method name changes.
