Well, I've just been bitten again by the ios::bin v ios::binary
difference between gcc and Borland,Watcom and who knows what other
PC compilers.

My current hack is to add a new 'binary = _IOS_BIN' to streambuf.h

There must be a better way than hacking the include files. If not
could we have the alias added to any new djgcc releases?


just in case... the problem is

	ofstream afile("name",ios::bin | ios::in);

is incompatible with most PC compilers.
