cin and cout are assigned to the console. To do binary, or any other 
kind of I/O requires you to use the iostream class, which  cin and cout
are derived from.  You can find information on the iostream class in the
info docs included with DJGPP int he iostreams.h section. There is a
book I am looking for called C++ the Complete Reference by Shlidt who
wrote the books Teach yourself C and Teach yourself C++ that probably
has this info. Also, his book, teach yourself C++ did mention doing
binary I/O with the iostream class.
