Hi, I have a bunch of .dat files that I need to read with a program I'm
making.  However, I haven't found a way, with my limited c++ experience, to
do so.  If fstream is used, special characters will most likely be
overlooked, and the data I'm reading has a range from 00 to FF.  I'd like to
read it in hex, or as 8-bit integers, or even bitwise... I just want to read
it and make sure everything gets in OK.

Can anyone help me?
(Please only respond if you can)

Thanx!

-Alex
