OK, I know this isnt a C++ forum, but this is the only good forum around (if you know of a good C++ forum, please tell me the link ) SO DON'T YELL AT ME ABOUT IT!!

That said.. on to my problem:
I need to know if there is a good way of reading and writing from files in binary format in C++. I want this to be similar to the open FileName for Binary as #1 in VB. I know about the fstream.h but it seems sort of... primitive... and i wanna know if there is a better way of doing it and HOW... Thanx for any help.
