This does not look like form output to me.


Hi, (sorry my left shift key is dead so capitalizaation will be poor0

i think i found a bug in the xxxReader classes (java.io)

in an attempt to write 1.1 "clean" pograms for an upcoming book on
Java beans, i wanted to convert a standard datainputstream.readline()
to the new bufferedreader(new inputstreamreader(somestream))) variant.

If i do this, then compiler stops complaining (clean compile0, but
the program doesn#t work anymore.

the program is very simple. it just takes a JAR file as argument and
prints a summary of the MANIFEST file in the file.

I  include the complete source (2 classes), incl.  the commented lines with
the original datainputstream objects (which worked fine).

the prgram hangs in printmanifestsummary...

ps. FEEDBACK much appreciated.
