Description
Class RWFile encapsulates binary file operations using the Standard C stream library (functions
fopen(), fread(), fwrite(), etc.). This class is based on class PFile of the Interviews Class
Library (1987, Stanford University). The member function names begin with upper case letters
in order to maintain compatibility with class PFile .
Because this class is intended to encapsulate binary operations, it is important that it be opened
using a binary mode. This is particularly important under MS-DOS -- otherwise bytes that
happen to match a newline will be expanded to (carriage return, line feed).
