** Revision 1.8  1997/07/21 08:14:38  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

** - Add method canWriteXfer to class DcmObject and all derived classes.

**   syntax to a uncompressed.
**
** Revision 1.6  1997/05/16 08:23:45  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.

** corrected error in search routine with parameter ESM_fromStackTop
**
** Revision 1.4  1996/01/09 11:06:14  andreas
** New Support for Visual C++
** Correct problems with inconsistent const declarations
**
** Revision 1.3  1996/01/05 13:22:52  andreas
** - changed to support new streaming facilities
** - more cleanups
** - merged read / write methods for block and file transfer
