Hi Mohan,

Here's my BufferedReader and InputStreamReader improvements. Perhaps 
you would like to bake these versions off against your modifications. 
In the case of BufferedReader the new code is a lot simpler as well as 
potentially more efficient, since it gets rid of all the special-case 
checks for "\r" at the end of each line.

Regards

Bryce.
