Trail: JDK(TM) 1.1 -- And Beyond!
Lesson: What's New in 1.1?

I/O Enhancements

To support internationalization, the JDK 1.1 release adds character streams to the java.io package. Character streams are like the byte streams that appeared in JDK 1.0 except that they operate on 16-bit Unicode characters rather than 8-bit bytes. In addition, two new byte streams were added to java.io to support object serialization.
