I would like to read an array of integer values ( or floats, etc) from a
RandomAccessFile.  However, the options for this type of file include an
array of bytes, or a single integer at a time.  I looked at the
tutorial  http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/ but now am even more
confused.  I'm guessing that it should be possible to read an array of
bytes, write them to some output stream (in memory?), and then
sequentially read my sequence of integers from an input stream connected
to the output stream?  All I know for certain is that reading 30000
integers from the file one at a time is very slow. Does anyone have any
idea how to implement this, or (even better?) point me to a reference
that discusses how to chain input/output streams to accomplish this.

Thanks,
