There I go again, not checking my docs before I spew from my fingers. I'm
referring to "ByteArrayInputStream", which has been around since JDK 1.0.
You pass it, in the constructor, the byte array to be used as the input
stream, then use it as you would any other input stream. This uses your
given array as the buffer to read from.
