I've been trying to turn the buffering off on cout, so I can do things
like read records & print out messages to that effect immediately, rather
than having to wait for several messages to be sent before appearing.

Being a bit of a novice at C++, I naturally assumed that seeing as you
can do a setbuf with stdout in C, there should be some sort of equivalent
command you can use with cout, but I haven't found anything yet.  So far,
the only way I can manage to turn off the buffering on cout is to do a:
	setbuf(stdout,0);
which seems to be against the spirit of C++, as it turns off buffering
on cout as a side effect.

Is there anyway of making some kind of call to cout to get the same effect?
I thought that
	cout.rdbuf->setbuf(0,0);
would do it, but it has no effect.  I've tried a few other things, like
	cout.sync_with_stdio();
and these had the expected effect (i.e. nothing).

So, does anyone know of a way to turn cout buffering off with a call
actually mentioning cout?
