[Dev-C++] ios::binary

[flxlist <fl...@ya...>]

Dev-C++ can compile the followingsimple testprogram but the program 
doesn't function afterwards:

#include <fstream.h>

class Animal
{
public:
    Animal(int weight, long 
days):itsWeight(weight),itsNumberDaysAlive(days){}
    ~Animal(){}

    int GetWeight()const { return itsWeight; }
    void SetWeight(int weight) { itsWeight = weight; }

    long GetDaysAlive()const { return  itsNumberDaysAlive; }
    void SetDaysAlive(long days) { itsNumberDaysAlive = days; }

private:
    int itsWeight;
    long itsNumberDaysAlive;
};

int main()   // returns 1 on error
{
    char fileName[80];


    cout << "Please enter the file name: ";
    cin >> fileName;
    ofstream fout(fileName,ios::binary);
    if (!fout)
    {
        cout << "Unable to open " << fileName << " for writing.\n";
        return(1);
    }

    Animal Bear(50,100);
    fout.write((char*) &Bear,sizeof Bear);

    fout.close();

    ifstream fin(fileName,ios::binary);
    if (!fin)
    {
        cout << "Unable to open " << fileName << " for reading.\n";
        return(1);
    }

    Animal BearTwo(1,1);

    cout << "BearTwo weight: " << BearTwo.GetWeight() << endl;
    cout << "BearTwo days: " << BearTwo.GetDaysAlive() << endl;

    fin.read((char*) &BearTwo, sizeof BearTwo);

    cout << "BearTwo weight: " << BearTwo.GetWeight() << endl;
    cout << "BearTwo days: " << BearTwo.GetDaysAlive() << endl;
    fin.close();
    return 0;
}



If I use any other compiler like DJGPP or Borland 5.5 it does work.
Does anybody know why it doesn't work with Dev-C++?
And does anyone know how to fix the problem?
