Hi all as skip throwing exception is uncommon enough that it hasn't been reported before in Compress and only seems to happen if you use streams like System.in maybe we can solve the issue by providing a wrapper stream that overrides skip so that it uses read and advice people to use that if they use special streams?
For Compress I really don't want to stop using skip as we potentially use it to skip larger chunks of uncompressed archives when moving ahead to the next entry without wanting to read the current one and reading will mean a significant slowdown for everybody in order to avoid problems in a few corner cases.
