Returns a Norsys stream for reading and writing to buffers in memory, in the same format reading/writing is done to disk files.

name is a symbolic name for identifying the stream (e.g., in error messages), and providing information on the expected format of the buffer, in the same way that a file extension can be used to indicate the format of disk files.

The stream can be used for input or output. Use SetStreamContents_ns to have Netica read from a text buffer that you supply. Use GetStreamContents_ns to retrieve a buffer that Netica has written to.

name is not necessarily the name of a file on the OS filesystem. If the end of name consists of a dot and then a few characters, it will be interpreted like a filetype extension, which can be useful to Netica in deciding the data format of the stream. For example, writing a net to a memory stream with a ".dnet" or ".dne" extension will result in a text file Netica format ("DNET format"), whereas using a ".neta" extension would result in a binary Netica file.

Netica will make a copy of filename; it won't modify or free the passed string.

Pass NULL for access; it is only for future expansion.

When done with the stream_ns produced, call DeleteStream_ns.
