These are all one-line wrappers around Java methods. I know Rich has stated that the Clojure philosophy is to avoid such wrappers unless they provide significant additional value. Perhaps this will need to change as people start to write more cross-platform code, but I don't know if we're to that point yet. > 2. duck-streams works very well for text, but not binary formats.

Copying between two files or between a file and a byte array should work fine unless I'm missing something. This should be better-documented though. > 3.

It covers everything I can think of, but if you've got suggestions let's hear them. -Phil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
