Binary and ASCII File I/O Routines

Here are examples of binary I/O written with:
  fread_bin.cpp: C standard library fopen/fread
  fstream_bin.cpp: C++ standard library ifstream
  java_bin.java: Java standard library FileInputStream
  unix_bin.cpp: UNIX open/read system calls
  win32_bin.cpp: Win32 CreateFile/ReadFile system calls

There are also examples of ASCII I/O written with:
  fread_str.cpp: C standard library scanf, "%s" string.
  fread_pat.cpp: C standard library scanf, pattern-matching string.
  fstream_str.cpp: C++ standard library istream and std::string.

Finally, there's an example program showing what happens
if you keep opening a file again and again, but never close it--
fopen_noclose.cpp will eventually fail.

All these programs open the file "test.dat".
