Class protocol:

 on: aCollection

cg: I will remove the asString soon...

Instance protocol:

 name

 name: aString

 readStream

polymorphic with SequenceableCollection. Return self

 reset

Set the receiver's position to the beginning of the sequence of objects.

 next

(comment from inherited method)
return the next element; advance read position.
If there are no more elements, nil is returned.

 next: count

Returns the next count elements in the receiver's collection.

 next: n into: aCollection startingAt: startIndex

Read n objects into the given collection.
Return aCollection or a partial copy if less than
n elements have been read.

 next: anInteger putAll: aCollection startingAt: startIndex

Store the next anInteger elements from the given collection.

 ascii

 binary

 binary: beBinaryBool

ExternalStream protocol compatibility:
switch to binary or text mode - default is text

 contents

(comment from inherited method)
return the contents as written so far;
redefined to prevent confusion resulting due to
my superclasses optimization. (see WriteStream contents).
ST80 users of ReadWriteStream may expect the contents array to remain
unchanged, which we do not guarantee.

 isBinary

(comment from inherited method)
return true, if in binary mode.
Defined here to make internalStreams protocol compatible with externalStreams.

 text

 nextPut: charOrByte

(comment from inherited method)
append the argument, anObject to the stream.
Answer the argument.
Specially tuned for appending to String, ByteArray and Array streams.

 nextPutAll: aCollection

append all elements from aCollection into the receiver stream.
Answer the receiver
