/**
* -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Used to test the Java I/O package to format output to a file using the
* PrintWriter wrapper class.
* <p>
* FileWriter by itself works, but Java has another class that makes it much
* easier to do simple text output to a file: PrintWriter. PrintWriter has
* print and println methods just like System.out, so using it to write to a
* file is almost the same as just printing text to the screen. Furthermore,
* PrintWriter handles the exceptions for you so you won't need to worry about
* try/catch blocks every time you want to write a line to the file. There is
* still one Exception that has to be dealt with, though. A PrintWriter object
* takes a FileWriter object as a parameter in the constructor. Remember that
* even the constructor of FileWriter throws an exception, so you will have to
* create it inside of a try/catch block.
* <p>
* Think of close() as "Save". Calling close() saves the file. As long as you
* call close() when you are finished writing to the file, you don't need to
* worry about calling flush(). If you forget to call close(), though, nothing
* will be written to the file. It would be the same as if you had typed your
* entire program and then closed Emacs without saving - whoops.
* <p>
* Example usage:
*
* Logger1 log = new Logger1("TestLogger.log");
* log.start();
* log.writeln("main : < Setting counter to 1");
* log.writeln("main : > Out of main with counter at 1024");
* log.stop();
*
* @version 1.0
