The keyword 'overload' is obsolete (has been since 1990), and need
not be supported by current compilers.  Get rid of 'overload' keywords
in your code.

This is not a good way to create a stream object.  Use initialization
by constructor instead:

	istream in(open(savefile, O_RDONLY));

Further, this method of creating an istream is obsolete (assuming you
are using iostreams, rather than the pre-1990 old-style streams).
Probably you should #include <fstream.h> and create an ifstream instead:

	ifstream in(savefile)

It may be that you are using very old code, or have an obsolete C++
textbook.  There are a number of good up-to-date books available.  I
recommend "C++ Primer", 2nd edition, by Stan Lippman, Addison-Wesley.
