31.8 (Transfer last 100 numbers in an ArrayList) Programming Exercise 24.12
retrieves the last 100 prime numbers from a file PrimeNumbers.dat. Write a
client program that requests the server to send the last 100 prime numbers in
an ArrayList . Name the server program Exercise31_08Server and the client
program Exercise31_08Client. Assume that the numbers of the long type are
stored in PrimeNumbers.dat in binary format.
