+
+ * FileStream.cs: Do not call FSync on the file.
+
+2002-09-16 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>
+
+ * TextWriter.cs (Null): The Null field should be an instance of a

+ NullTextWriter class.
+
+2002-09-16 Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>
+

+ Flush calls fsync().
+
+ The API docs show no explicit mention that Flush() should even do
+ an fsync, I am thinking that we should drop that from the
+ runtime.
+
+2002-09-09 Miguel de Icaza <miguel@ximian.com>

+ encoding without markers, this is what MS does.

+ of byte marks at the beginning of the stream.

+ that there is no directory information about the path.
+
+2002-08-20 Gonzalo Paniagua Javier <gonzalo@ximian.com>

+
+2002-05-03 Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>
+

+
+2002-03-19 Martin Baulig <martin@gnome.org>
+
+ * StreamWriter.cs (StreamWriter (string)): The default is to override

+
+2002-03-15 Dan Lewis <dihlewis@yahoo.co.uk>
+

+
+2002/03/15 Nick Drochak <ndrochak@gol.com>
+
+ * DirectoryInfo.cs: Fixed the overloaded GetDirectories and GetFiles.
+ This code seemed to be copied from somewhere, and it was close,
+ but didn't match the docs. This was the last bit needed to get
