Re: File streams in C++

Your code opens the file in text mode.

Your file is not a text file (despite the name). 

Look into your favorite C++ tutorial or reference on how to open files
in binary mode.  If it doesn't talk about this distinction, throw it
away and get a better book.

In addition you may want to look at the cygwin FAQ at
http://www.cygwin.com/faq/.  I just checked and the entry "How is the
DOS/Unix CR/LF thing handled?" applies.


so long, benny
