OK, now the plot thickens :)  This program works perfectly under
BSDi/OS...  Here's the actual code:


#include <fstream.h>
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  char temp[1025];
  if(argc<3)
  {
    cout << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " <infile> <outfile>" << endl;
    return 1;
  }
  ifstream in(argv[1]);
  if(in.fail())
  {
    cout << "Error opening " << argv[1] << endl;
    return 2;
  }
  ofstream out(argv[2]);
  if(out.fail())
  {
    cout << "Error opening " << argv[2] << endl;
    return 3;
  }
  while (!in.eof()&&!in.fail()&&!out.fail())
  {
    in.read(&temp,1024);
    out.write(&temp,in.gcount());
  }
  out.flush();
  if(in.eof())
    cout << "End of file reached." << endl;
  if(in.fail()&&!in.eof())
    cout << "Error reading " << argv[1] << "." << endl;
  if(out.fail())
    cout << "Error writing " << argv[2] << "." << endl;
  in.close();
  out.close();
  return 0;
}
