[ale] OT: C not C++ Question

[Benjamin Scherrey]

Can you not establish a pointer to a BufferedInputStream outside of 
the while loop, use it within the loop, then delete it outside when 
completed? You don't make clear the implications of 
BufferedInputStream_new() but its a good general rule that one should 
not try to write C++/java code within C. I've intermixed some code 
for you...

	BufferedInputStream* tbis = 0;

	if( tbis )
	{
		BufferedInputStream_dispose(tbis);
