I've been getting some wierd results using the c++ manipulators
and I/O fields.  Can anyone shed some light on this:

1.  The ios::hex flag has no effect on output whatsoever

    e.g. cout.setf(ios::hex)

    However, ios::scientific works as it should

2.  The hex manipulator affects all future outputs

    e.g. cout<<hex<<var

    while the set(w) manipulator only affects the next output.



This behavior just seems strangely inconsistent.

Does anyone have a solution, or at least a list of what is applicable when?

Thanks much.
