    Description

    WriteAnsiString writes the AnsiString S (i.e. 4 bytes) to the stream. This is a utility function which simply calls the Write function. The ansistring is written as a 4 byte length specifier, followed by the ansistring's content. The ansistring can be read from the stream using the ReadAnsiString function.

    Errors

    If an error occurs when attempting to write, an EStreamError exception will be raised.
