[Seen]ReadByte - cant differentiate between 0 and error

[Mistrel]

Java works around this by returning an int which is either 0-255 or -1 if the stream has ended.

Yes but its no byte in purebasic. Byte in PB is signed (in Java too, but see the next sentence). In java it reads a byte, but returns an int, not a byte.

Bytes in Java are signed as well. This would work for PureBasic but it would certainly break backwards compatibility.

I said exactly that.
