It should be std::cout.setf(std::ios_base::fmtflags(0), std::ios_base::floatfield); The important portion is the conversion to the type 'fmtflags' if it is necessary, ie. if an implementation choose to use a different type than 'int', eg. an enum (like eg. my implementation does). -- homepage: Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy. --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
