Please don't use tabs in usenet.

I've snipped your source from this reply, but what was striking to me 
was that you used the COS for only the first write, and then never 
flushed it.  COS may have some buffering behind the scenes. Even if you 
call flush on it, that may not be sufficient as many block ciphers 
require a full block before they can produce output.  You seem to want 
to mix encrypted and unencrypted data in the same output stream, which 
seems dubious at best, since you don't have any clear demarcation of 
where the various data start and end.
