So... you agree that getContents in its current form should really be called unsafeGetContents? Unless perhaps we redefine its semantics to either (a) yield a random string or (b) eagerly slurp the entire stream contents?
Well, I'm not sure that the semantics of getContents is currently clearly defined and I'm not sure what the prefix `unsafe' really means. However, I don't want to continously disagree with you. unsafeGetContents would have been a better name. Olaf -- OLAF CHITIL, Dept. of Computer Science, The University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.
