The following program results in an error message from cc (not CC).
#include <stream.h>
main() {
char c;
while ( cin.get(c) ) cout << c;
cout.flush();
}
cc claims that line 5 (cout.flush()) is an illegal function. Help!

Help! > -- Curious. It compiled and ran here. I think you will have to look for a bug in your port. There is, however, two observations I can make: (1) the explicit call of flush is redundant since the ostream destructor will be called implicitly for cout, and it will do the flush. (2) are you really trying to write a program that converts a stream of characters into a stream of digits (the digits in the integer representation of the characters)? In ``cout << c;'' ``c'' is implicitly converted to an integer. The character by character copy program looks something like this: main() { char c; while (cin.get(c)) cout.put(c); }
