This class contains functions to change the current encoding used internally by Chameleon at runtime. Changes made here affect all currently instantiated Engines and Chameleon network connections.

The locale set here is used to determine how to

1) Translate .NET and Java unicode strings to and from the internal representation used in Chameleon for both Engine and network operations. See http://www.interfaceware.com/manual/setting_encoding.html for more details.

2) Determine how strings are parsed with an Engine.
