Hello,

I am a beginner in Java programming.

We are running an older verision of Solaris Java JDK 1.2.2_10 and have
the rt.jar in our Solaris 8 server.

We are getting occasional "IOException java.io.EOFException" errors
when we run our Java program.  Those errors occur when the program
encounters characters outside the standard ASCII character set. Some
examples are the Latin symbol for sections, trademark symbol, copyright
symbol, etc.  They are part of the Latin1 characters in the ISO-8859-1
extended ASCII character set.

We need to find out what class/library or basic encoding set is needed
and how to test and resolve the problem.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Humphrey
