** Revision 1.13  2000/03/03 14:05:23  meichel
** Implemented library support for redirecting error messages into memory
**   instead of printing them to stdout/stderr for GUI applications.
**
** Revision 1.12  2000/02/10 10:50:51  joergr
** Added new feature to dcmdump (enhanced print method of dcmdata): write
** pixel data/item value fields to raw files.
**
** Revision 1.11  1999/03/31 09:24:38  meichel
** Updated copyright header in module dcmdata
**
** Revision 1.10  1998/11/12 16:47:39  meichel
** Implemented operator= for all classes derived from DcmObject.
**
** Revision 1.9  1997/07/21 08:14:39  andreas
** - New environment for encapsulated pixel representations. DcmPixelData
**   can contain different representations and uses codecs to convert
**   between them. Codecs are derived from the DcmCodec class. New error
**   codes are introduced for handling of representations. New internal
**   value representation (only for ident()) for PixelData
** - Replace all boolean types (BOOLEAN, CTNBOOLEAN, DICOM_BOOL, BOOL)
**   with one unique boolean type OFBool.
**
** Revision 1.8  1997/05/27 13:48:27  andreas
** - Add method canWriteXfer to class DcmObject and all derived classes.
**   This method checks whether it is possible to convert the original
**   transfer syntax to an new transfer syntax. The check is used in the
**   dcmconv utility to prohibit the change of a compressed transfer
**   syntax to a uncompressed.
**
** Revision 1.7  1997/05/16 08:23:47  andreas
** - Revised handling of GroupLength elements and support of
**   DataSetTrailingPadding elements. The enumeratio E_GrpLenEncoding
**   got additional enumeration values (for a description see dctypes.h).
**   addGroupLength and removeGroupLength methods are replaced by
**   computeGroupLengthAndPadding. To support Padding, the parameters of
**   element and sequence write functions changed.
** - Added a new method calcElementLength to calculate the length of an
**   element, item or sequence. For elements it returns the length of
**   tag, length field, vr field, and value length, for item and
**   sequences it returns the length of the whole item. sequence including
**   the Delimitation tag (if appropriate).  It can never return
**   UndefinedLength.
**
** Revision 1.6  1996/08/05 08:45:21  andreas
** new print routine with additional parameters:
**         - print into files
**         - fix output length for elements
** corrected error in search routine with parameter ESM_fromStackTop
**
** Revision 1.5  1996/07/29 15:46:23  andreas
** Add method getAndRemoveDataset to remove connection of dataset from fileformat
**
** Revision 1.4  1996/01/09 11:06:15  andreas
** New Support for Visual C++
** Correct problems with inconsistent const declarations
**
** Revision 1.3  1996/01/05 13:22:55  andreas
** - changed to support new streaming facilities
** - more cleanups
** - merged read / write methods for block and file transfer
