Date:: 8/22/2003

Wrapper for "iostream.h" using ROOT definitions (compiler dependence, OS/platform issues). There are at least two version of iostream (one ANSI and one not). Old gcc (pre 3.2) did not use the ANSI way.

Working Paper for Draft Proposed INternational Standard for Information Systems (ANSI) -- Programming Language C++, Section 27.6.1.4.1

Description is as follow

<U>pre-ANSI iostream class</U>
This class combines the istream and ostream classes. You use it to carry out bidirectional operations (inserting into and extracting from a single sequence of characters).
<U>ANSI iostream</U>
The class basic_iostream inherits a number of functions from classes basic_ostream<charT, traits> and basic_istream<charT, traits>. They assist in formatting and interpreting sequences of characters controlled by a stream buffer. Two groups of functions share common properties, the formatted functions and the unformatted functions.
