^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You must use "|" between ios::in and ios::binary not "||".  It is a
bit-wise or'ing of their values, not a logical or'ing.  Your call can only
pass zero or one to the function.  I suspect that the binary part is
missing and it is truncating 13,10 to 10.
