			 Commons IO Package
			    Version 1.3.1
			   Release Notes


INTRODUCTION:

Commons IO is a package of Java utility classes for java.io's hierarchy.  
Classes in this package are considered to be so standard and of such high

Commons IO contains utility classes, stream implementations, file filters, 
and endian transformation classes.
