I thought that the 'put' and 'get' pointers were different, but the
following program shows they are not. Is this standard?

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main( int argc, const char * argv[] )
{
const char * fn = "test.txt";
fstream f1(fn, fstream::binary|fstream::in);
fstream f2(fn, fstream::binary|fstream::out);

if (!f1.is_open() || !f2.is_open())
{
cout << "Couldn't open\n";
system("pause");
return 1;
}

cout << "f1.tellg: " << f1.tellg() << "\nf2.tellg: " << f2.tellg()
<< "\n\tf1.tellp: " << f1.tellp() << "\n\tf2.tellp: " << f2.tellp()
<< endl;

f1.seekg(10);
f2.seekg(15);

cout << "f1.tellg: " << f1.tellg() << "\nf2.tellg: " << f2.tellg()
<< "\n\tf1.tellp: " << f1.tellp() << "\n\tf2.tellp: " << f2.tellp()
<< endl;

f1.seekp(20);
f2.seekp(25);

cout << "f1.tellg: " << f1.tellg() << "\nf2.tellg: " << f2.tellg()
<< "\n\tf1.tellp: " << f1.tellp() << "\n\tf2.tellp: " << f2.tellp()
<< endl;

system("pause");
return 0;
}

//Output
//f1.tellg: 0
//f2.tellg: 0
// f1.tellp: 0
// f2.tellp: 0
//f1.tellg: 10
//f2.tellg: 15
// f1.tellp: 10
// f2.tellp: 15
//f1.tellg: 20
//f2.tellg: 25
// f1.tellp: 20
// f2.tellp: 25
//Press any key to continue . . .

So it is standard ... thanks for your answer.

I'll get me one of those 'standard' books. Should I get one now or is
any 'update' coming in the following months?
