The new iostream library behaves rather strange:

	filebuf fb;
	fb.open("", in);

will connect fb to the current directory!

Is this ment to be?

(We use C++ 2.0 from Glockenspiel, a beta release for Sun sparc station,
they added there own iostream headerfile, but I don't know if they
changed the original iostream source.)

Thanks.

P.S.
iostream is very nice, compared to stream.
It also is fun, try this:

	main() { cout << cin.rdbuf();  }
