This came up while I was trying to port some Turbo C++ to DJGPP:

void outline()
{     string S;
       ifstream f("test.txt",ios::nocreate)
       getline(f,S);
       cout << S;
    }

in TC this works fine, and S gets the correct value.
but in DJGPP, i need to use ios::nocreate||ios::in for the mode.
any particular reasons why?

I haven't tried the code on MSVC yet, but I will get a chance
tommorow to see if the effect is the same.
