 * Updated doxygen API documentation
 *
 * Revision 1.24  2005/12/08 16:28:50  meichel
 * Changed include path schema for all DCMTK header files
 *
 * Revision 1.23  2005/11/15 18:28:02  meichel
 * Added new global flag dcmEnableUnknownVRConversion that enables the automatic
 *   re-conversion of defined length UN elements read in an explicit VR transfer
 *   syntax, if the real VR is defined in the data dictionary. Default is OFFalse,
 *   i.e. to retain the previous behavior.
 *
 * Revision 1.22  2005/11/15 16:59:24  meichel
 * Added new pseudo VR type EVR_lt that is used for LUT Data when read in
 *   implicit VR, which may be US, SS or OW. DCMTK always treats EVR_lt like OW.
 *
 * Revision 1.21  2003/06/12 13:31:46  joergr
 * Fixed inconsistent API documentation reported by Doxygen.
 *
 * Revision 1.20  2003/03/21 13:06:46  meichel

 * Updated copyright header
 *
 * Revision 1.16  2000/04/14 15:42:56  meichel
 * Global VR generation flags are now derived from OFGlobal and, thus,
 *   safe for use in multi-thread applications.
 *
 * Revision 1.15  2000/03/08 16:26:21  meichel
 * Updated copyright header.
 *
 * Revision 1.14  2000/02/29 11:48:38  meichel
 * Removed support for VS value representation. This was proposed in CP 101
 *   but never became part of the standard.
 *
 * Revision 1.13  2000/02/23 15:11:42  meichel
 * Corrected macro for Borland C++ Builder 4 workaround.
 *
 * Revision 1.12  2000/02/01 10:12:03  meichel
 * Avoiding to include <stdlib.h> as extern "C" on Borland C++ Builder 4,
 *   workaround for bug in compiler header files.
 *
 * Revision 1.11  1999/06/10 10:44:51  meichel
 * Replaced some #if statements by more robust #ifdef
 *
 * Revision 1.10  1999/03/31 09:24:54  meichel
 * Updated copyright header in module dcmdata
