B&S: Data read requirement

[Vaishali Paramane]

Hi
My requirment say that

" All numeric values are stored in the header information use the formats of the DataInputStream and DataOutputStream classes. All text values, and all fields (which are text only), contain only 8 bit characters, null terminated if less than the maximum length for the field. The character encoding is 8 bit US ASCII. "

I didnot get it. Is it means that reading file is using DataInputStream and DataOutputStream.
or can I use it RandomAccess for file reading?

Thanks for helping

Yes you can. Check the javadoc and you'll find, that RAF is following same contract as DataInput*, because both are implements DataInput/DataOutput interfaces.
