Hello,

I am trying to translate the following Java
snippet into a file copy routine in Clojure.

  public static void copy(InputStream in, OutputStream out)    throws
IOException {
    byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
    while (true) {
      int bytesRead = in.read(buffer);
      if (bytesRead == -1) break;
      out.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
    }
  }

I was barely able to start:

(defn copy [iname oname]
  (let [in (new FileInputStream iname)
        out (new FileOutputStream oname)]
    nil))

But now I am totally lost at the "nil". I am not sure how to translate
the "while" loop.

I would appreciate any pointers on how to do this (or maybe a more
ideomatic
way).

Thanks.
Parth
