Using djgpp v2.03, Win98, & a FAT32 file system, I successfully compile and
link a C++ program with the following code included;

#include<fstream.h>  // I/0 header
ifstream inFile;          // Text file to read
inFile.open("data.dat")  // Text file
cout << inFile;

The program finds the file, but the output of the file name is in HEX (or
something cryptic like that).  When I try to "inFile.get" data, it hangs.

The program runs fine on a UNIX box, but not with msdos/Win98.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance,
Scott
