Many thanks for the quick response. And apologies for being a total newbie, but how do I close the stream (and how do I check that it has been closed)? With normal iostreams I would just write "out.close();", out being the name of the stream. But that doesn't seem to be the way to do it for filtering_iostreams?!? And I would think it would close when it goes out of scope, but I haven't checked. Any help appreciated. I'm pleased it worked for you on Linux, but I'm largely stuck with Windows for the time being...
Can you post a complete small example demonstrating the problem? The destructor should close the stream. The docs for iostreams::stream shows a close method at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/iostreams/doc/index.html. Please don't top post. Jeff
