What is the difference bertween the following three file writing declarations:
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream(....));
vs.
OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(....));
vs.
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(....)));

Is one method deprecated?

Are all methods suitable for text files?
