Code does not work

Posted by Jonathan Hager on April 24, 2001 at 6:46 PM

Just wanted to let you know that this code is broken for binary files. The FileReader and FileWriter are meant for text files. Use the FileInputStream to copy instead (example code at http://www.codeguru.com/java/articles/463.shtml)
