OOPS!  No, it seems to have fallen off the edge of the world.
DataInputStream also provides a readLine, but it accesses the data a byte
at a time through a method invocation. Thus, if you construct the
DataInputStream with an unbuffered input stream, your readLine will
effectively be unbuffered. TextInputStream buffered things for you. Another
difference between the two would seem to be the treatment of '\r' and '\n'
- DataInputStream will not treat '\r' as a terminator.
