Thanks to the both!

TArrayStream would be what I want, except that it seems to require that 
the compilation be in release mode.  I'm going to need to study just 
what that means.  But if it isn't what's needed, then MemoryStream seems 
a reasonable alternative.

(My suspicion is that it only constructs an array of bytes of memory if 
you don't pass it a buffer...but I haven't checked.  The documentation 
sure seems to say that it copies the buffer.)
