Hi,

I am using gcc 2.7.2.1 and try to do
the following:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fstream.h>

int main()
{
   ifstream Quelle;

   Quelle.open("test.dat", ios::binary);
   if (!Quelle)
   {
      cout << "File not found.";
      exit(-1);
   }

   char ch;
   while (Quelle.read((char *)&ch, sizeof(ch)))
     cout << ch;
}

Test.dat exists and is 10 bytes large, but the program
doesn't enter the while-loop. Any ideas why it doesn't work?

Klaus
