Description




A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The method description of RandomAccessFile.writeUTF(...) doesn't say "modified"
when it says "UTF-8".

(It must say "modified UTF-8" because "UTF-8" would be wrong because it's not
legal UTF-8.  (Character NULL is encoded differently.))


(You might check other UTF method descriptions.  (RandomAccessFile.readUTF(...)
is fine, as is DataOutput.writeUTF().)
