The TStream object is the ancestor for all streaming objects, i.e. objects that have the capability to store and retrieve data.
It defines a number of methods that are common to all objects that implement streaming, many of them are virtual, and are only implemented in the descendent types.
Programs should not instantiate objects of type TStream directly, but instead instantiate a descendant type, such as TDosStream, TMemoryStream.
