According to the 2nd addition of Horstmann's "Mastering C++",
	cout << setiosflags(ios::fixed, ios::floatfield);
is OK, but I found that it would not compile because the libraries
on our Gnu C++ n.m.0 do not have a two argument form of the
iomanipulator setiosflags.

In the draft standard/working papers (HTML version) I searched
for all occurences of setisoflags and failed to
find anything but a one argument form:
     smanip setiosflags  (ios_base::fmtflags mask);

Similarly for resetiosflags.

I presume that this is deliberate and that there is a
way of expressing the older pair of arguments in terms
of a single argument.

Am I right?
And if so... how does one do the euqivalent of
	cout.setf(ios:: F, ios::G);
by using
	cout<<setiosflags( X );
