This is a criticism of the quagmire that has become the C++ standard
(template) library.  IMHO unless you are determined to wade through the
nightmare of i/o streams and its inpenetrable templates then you are better
off with C standard FILE's and printf/scanf.

It's quite simple, the first problem is in TLSTM::LoadPar()

  pFile->scan("NbPredictNextIn:");

pFile is an fstream* declared in TIOBase, as such it doesn't have a scan
method; you'll need to implement this.

The second error (LSTM1.cpp:45: using typedef-name `std::iostream' after
`class') is easily resolved by removing the word class from the call to
WriteWeightStream.

IMHO it's impenetrable error messages like these that should be a warning to
all that using STL streams can be an extremely unpleasant and protracted
business.  Caveat emptor, or in English, naff ;-)
