<P>
Used by tuple bindings to write tuple data.
<p>This class has many methods that have the same signatures as methods in
the <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/io/DataOutput.html"><CODE>DataOutput</CODE></A> interface. The reason this class does not
implement <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/io/DataOutput.html"><CODE>DataOutput</CODE></A> is because it would break the interface
contract for those methods because of data format differences.</p>
<p>Signed numbers are stored in the buffer in MSB (most significant byte
first) order with their sign bit (high-order bit) inverted to cause negative
numbers to be sorted first when comparing values as unsigned byte arrays,
as done in a database. Unsigned numbers, including characters, are stored
in MSB order with no change to their sign bit.</p>
<p>Strings and character arrays are stored either as a fixed length array of
unicode characters, where the length must be known by the application, or as
a null-terminated UTF byte array.</p>
<p>Floats and doubles are stored in standard integer-bit representation and
are therefore not ordered by numeric value.</p>
