Well just the variable initialization (which of course is now how I went at
it in the actual source), but as a matter of fact, yes, I have run into
extreme problems with the fstream class, when reading from a file, it would
allow me to open a file, would register an error, such as

ofstream In;
char buf[10000];

In.open ( "wow.txt" );

if ( !In )
  {
     cout << "Error!";
     exit ( 1 );
  }

while ( In >> buf )
 {
      // do stuff
 }

In.close();


It would open correctly, but it would register that the file had nothing in
it, of course this was for school, so I just used their VC++ and it worked
fine (the same exact code).  I would have posted that problem as well, but I
don't have any use for the fstream, so I didn't think about posting it.

(and here are my versions
bnu27b
djdev201
gcc2721b
gpp2721b
lgp271b
and I do believe they are the most recent)
