             (byte[] oldString, byte newString)
            

Add a new string to the string table.

Parameters:

oldString - stored string

newString - string to be appended to the stored string

oldString - string be appended to

newString - string that is to be appended to oldString

Returns:

combined string

getNextCode

             public int getNextCode()
            

Attempt to get the next code. Exceptions are caught to make this robust to cases wherein the EndOfInformation code has been omitted from a strip. Examples of such cases have been observed in practice.

Returns:

next code
