I wrote this code to write a series of numbers (short wave[11025]) to a
binary file.  the program produces a 57k file (rather than 22k) and I
looked at it in ms-dos editor to discover that the program output the
numbers as text, like cout would.  Why doesn't ios::binary work?

#include <fstream.h>
#include <math.h>

void main()
{
  short wave[11025];
  ofstream output("temp.raw", ios::binary);

  for (int sample = 0; sample < 11025; sample++)
  {
    wave[sample] = (short) (32767*sin(.01*sample));
    output << wave[sample];
  }
}
