Repost (first apparently got eaten -- if you saw it let me know)

The iostreams library appears to be missing skipws. Neither

some_istream.skipws();

nor

some_istream << skipws();

work. Yes, I included iostream.h and iomanip.h.

I double checked in Stroustrup 3rd Ed. and I definitely have not screwed
up. LGP2811B.ZIP is screwed up.
