Reading that other newsgroup for over a decade, I can tell you that 
nobody there has the expertise in C++ to event shine your toe nail.

Talking to friends at Google, evidently they don't use ios base for file 
access.  They use unistd.h, fcntl.h, sys/file.h, 

something is wrong,  I'm not trolling, but it is fustrating me and 
puzzles me too spend a month learning the details of a rather exotic 
iostream class in C++ and then to find that it is all but useless because 
you can't lock the files,
