When using istream, numbers aren't parsed consistently by different
compilers. For instance, in g++ inputting "95 09 23" is parsed as
{95,0,9,23}, while the SGI C++ compiler will read it as {95,9,23} as one
would tend to expect. Which is right, and if the former how is this
"feature" turned off to get the latter result? (See test code below.)

A related problem is setw. Given input of "950923" one would like to use
is>>setw(2)>>x to parse it. However, setw has no effect on integers (tried
bc++ 3.1). What is the proper iostream way to accomplish the ubiquitous
task of parsing fixed length numeric fields? 

Thanks.

#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{	cout<<"Test cin. CTRL-D or CTRL-Z to quit.\n";
	int x;
	while(cin)
	{	cin>>x; //input: "95 09 23" [Enter]
		cout<<x<<endl;
	}
	return 0;
}

/* output g++:

95
0
9
23

*/
/* output SGI:

95
9
23

*/
