This is very much a concrete issue. I/O is unreliable. Sometimes it fails. When it does an IOException is thrown and the code can deal with whatever that means in context. However PrintWriter does not throw those IOExceptions. It just ignores them and continues. It doesn't even log an error message. -- Elliotte Rusty Harold [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
