//       Class : ISubStream
// Description : An istream object that presents a subwindow into
//               another istream.  The first character read from this
//               stream will be the "start" character from the source
//               istream; just before the file pointer reaches the
//               "end" character, eof is returned.
//
//               The source stream must be one that we can randomly
//               seek within.  The resulting ISubStream will also
//               support arbitrary seeks.
