> ... You would have to create more complex code if you want to align char
position and byte position. 
~ 
 but then why do they have a:
~ 
 docs/api/java/nio/channels/FileChannel.html#position()
~ 
 in the API? How/What is it used for?
~ 
 If you read the FileChannel.position() as you read off the chars from the
CharBuffer you always get 0 (as if the offset pointer in the underlying
FileChannel would not advance)
~ 
 I am using:
~ 
$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_11"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_11-b21)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 23.6-b04, mixed mode)
