The C++ I/O stream library was extensively modified during the ANSI
standards process with the result that functions like istream::scan were not
included.  Most compilers, including gcc, offer some form of backwards
compatibility but there are significant limitations.  NB you should not use
old .h C++ library headers in new programs as these were deprecated with the
release of ISO 14882.

Consequently you will need to implement your own function that replaces
istream::scan.  Typically this can be done with the standard formatted input
operations like >>, get and getline.
