The problem is that InterViews is trying to have it both ways:
- part of the distribution uses the newer features and style
of the iostream "specification."
- some older code still uses old features of the old
stream "specification" that are not part of the iostream
specifcation:  istream::istream(int, char*) is not part of the
iostream specification, not in the AT&T man pages, and not in
the ANSI draft.  It works on some iostream implementations
because of compatibility hacks in those libraries.

It probably wouldn't be hard to add similar compatibility
constructors to my iostream implementation (though a
specification would help), but I would urge fixing
the broken code in Interviews.
