hi all
got all the mess sorted out finally
the readInt method though returns "int" is meant to read data written
by writeInt
it reads 4 bytes so if you enter 45
the int will be stored as ascii values of foloowing chars serailly
starting high order byte first
4
5
\n
\r

i also got the reason why their demo code failed
on windows platform when the input is entered it also reads \n & \r
whereas on *nix platform it reads only \n & not \r so i modified their
code to writeChar('\r) also & then it works fine
i should have read the DOCS with utmost care ;)
i was confused as i saw the return type as 'int'

cheers
amey
