Hello!

I have some questions on the future of the I/O part of libg++:

* To me, the iostream concept is much more appealing than the stdio
  stuff from C. But the current implementation is not behaving well
  enough, to forget stdio. I encounterd problems with manipulators,
  random positioning and binary I/O.


-> Is it a future goal, to make the iostream package more compatible
   with cfront's one?  (e.g. the examples in Stroustrup's C++PL2)

-> Are there plans for a 'binary filemode', to allow more general
   I/O?

-> Is it possible to extend the documentation with some examples?
   (I'm using the emx port of gcc-2.1 with libg++-2.2, and it's
    sometimes hard to figure out the UNIX customs..)


-> Do you think it's realistic to do all I/O with the iostream
   package or will there still be need for C way?


Bye, Marc
