Reading that other newsgroup for over a decade, I can tell you that
nobody there has the expertise in C++ to event shine your toe nail.
Talking to friends at Google, evidently they don't use ios base for file
access. They use unistd.h, fcntl.h, sys/file.h,
something is wrong, I'm not trolling, but it is fustrating me and
puzzles me too spend a month learning the details of a rather exotic
iostream class in C++ and then to find that it is all but useless because
you can't lock the files,
Ruben
