**
** Purpose:
** This internal class contains wrapper methods over the Native
** Methods of the Eventlog API.   Unlike the raw Native Methods,
** these methods throw EventLogExceptions, check platform
** availability and perform additional helper functionality
** specific to function.  Also, all methods of this class expose
** the Link Demand for Unmanaged Permission to callers.
