 * CVS/RCS Log:
 * $Log: dcvr.h,v $
 * 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
 * Minor code purifications for warnings reported by MSVC in Level 4
 *
 * Revision 1.19  2002/12/06 12:20:19  joergr
 * Added support for new value representation Other Float String (OF).
 *
 * Revision 1.18  2002/11/27 12:07:24  meichel
 * Adapted module dcmdata to use of new header file ofstdinc.h
 *
 * Revision 1.17  2001/06/01 15:48:47  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
