%% This module is a library of useful i/o functions. It is hoped that the
%% functions defined in it are basic enough to be used without modification
%% as components of more complex utilities.
%%
%% It is completely self-contained and uses no other modules. Its own
%% utilities are exported.
%%
%% Most of the code here is derived from the original prolog versions and
%% from similar code written by Joe Armstrong and myself.
%%
%% This module has been split into seperate modules:
%% io_lib        - basic write and utilities
%% io_lib_format - formatted output
%% io_lib_fread  - formatted input
%% io_lib_pretty - term prettyprinter

%% For handling ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) we use the following type
%% information:
%%
%% 000 - 037	NUL - US	control
%% 040 - 057	SPC - /		punctuation
%% 060 - 071	0 - 9		digit
%% 072 - 100	: - @		punctuation
%% 101 - 132	A - Z		uppercase
%% 133 - 140	[ - `		punctuation
%% 141 - 172	a - z		lowercase
%% 173 - 176	{ - ~		punctuation
%% 177		DEL		control
%% 200 - 237			control
%% 240 - 277	NBSP - �	punctuation
%% 300 - 326	� - �		uppercase
%% 327		�		punctuation
%% 330 - 336	� - �		uppercase
%% 337 - 366	� - �		lowercase
%% 367		�		punctuation
%% 370 - 377	� - �		lowercase
%%
%% Many punctuation characters region have special meaning.  Must
%% watch using � \327, very close to x \170
