Hi there,

I am still working my way through MultiByteFileStream tests, and have come 
across the messages #converter and #converter: .  I would like to be able to 
test these - could someone explain briefly how the converters are used in this 
class?
In order to convert from bytes to characters and vice versa, 
MultiByteFileStream uses a TextConverter subclass instance as a helper. The 
messages #nextFromStream: and #nextPut:onStream: are the main interface between 
the two.

The silly thing is that both MultiByteFileStream and TextConverter convert from 
wrongly encoded strings to correctly encoded strings. 
ZnCharacter[Read|Write]Stream and ZnCharacterEncoder do the correct thing.
