public class ValidityCheckOutputStream
extends ConsoleOutputStream
This class implements a special from of OutputStream that is used by to validity check the output from the benchmarks. Data is written here when spec.harness.Context.out.println() is called which will cause the spec.io.PrintStream class to call is here. Regular PrintStream data arrives here along with valitity chech codes that show how the data should be compaired. These codes are: 
 0 - Validity checking is not performed at all.
 1 - Validity check all the data
 2 - Remove '/' and '\' characters before validity checking.
 3 - Remove numbers before validity checking.
 4 - Rules 2 and 3 together.
These validity chech codes are injected into the regular data as the characters to . A check is made that these characters along with any other strange data is not printed accidenially
