The problem with doing things like this is that you are completely ignoring the encoding. Encoding is one of the reason why there are parallel IO hierarchies in Java: InputStream [sun.com]/OutputStream [sun.com] vs Reader [sun.com]/Writer [sun.com]. The latter understand characters, the former understand bytes. Unfortunately, every time you go near a Reader/Writer, you need to specify a character encoding. As a rule, I try to prefer Reader/Writer where I can.

My personal wiring is probably far too close to Paul Graham's recent unforgivable sin in making Arc ASCII-only for the taste of people around here, or anyone steeped in Java. It's something I'd prefer to leave as Somebody Else's Problem as
