TITLE: Mixing stdio and iostreams in a C++ program


PROBLEM: tannerrj@cnsvax.uwec.edu, 1 Sep 92

I am trying to put a text windowing environment on a C++ program
that I have created. The text windowing environment is DFLAT from 
DDJ magazine. The problem is DFLAT is ANSI C using stdio.h and
my program is a C++ program with iostream.h. I have read that there
are potential dangers in mixing the two. Any suggestions? Thanks.

*****>	1. You don't _have_ to use iostreams in C++.
	2. There exists a function synch_with_stdio (or something like
	   that) that makes the two work together; look at iostream.h
	   for the exact name.
