This code:

void THIS::printOn(ostream& strm) const
{
    strm.fill('0');
    strm.width(2);
    strm << hex;
	for (register unsigned i=0; i<sz; i++) {
		if (i > 0) strm << "  ";
 		strm << "0x" << ((unsigned int)(unsigned char)v[i]);
	}
	strm << dec;
}

produces the errors

Arraychar.c:121: type conversion required for type `ostream'
Arraychar.c:126: type conversion required for type `ostream'

for the strm << {hex,dec} statements.

hex is declared as ios& hex(ios&); shouldn't g++ be able to convert
ostream& to ios& automatically?
