RE: B20: tellg changes file position (Win95,?)

["Kris Thielemans" <kris dot thielemans at csc dot mrc dot ac dot uk>]

Hi,

I had a similar problem recently (could even have been in VC). My problem
was that I was using tellg() on a stream which was NOT opened with
ios::binary, while containing binary data. Presumably it is an ill-defined
procedure in that case.

Maybe the same is true for you...
