Bruce, looking at the code for Channel.java, I notice the following:

    /**
    * Translation mode for end-of-line character
    */
    
    protected int translation[] = {0, 0};

And also:

    /**
    * EOF character 0: for input 1: for output
    */
    
    protected Character eofChar[] = {null, null};



But in the Tcl source code, the following is used:

    Tcl_EolTranslation inputTranslation;
				/* What translation to apply for end of line
				 * sequences on input? */    
    Tcl_EolTranslation outputTranslation;
				/* What translation to use for generating
				 * end of line sequences in output? */
    int inEofChar;		/* If nonzero, use this as a signal of EOF
				 * on input. */
    int outEofChar;             /* If nonzero, append this to the channel
				 * when it is closed if it is open for
				 * writing. */

Why should we use an array instead of two variables?
