When i try to read a file using fstream in borland C++, result is
displayed with unusual characters.
I read a file "named ffile.txt" using ffile.read() or ffile>> into
variables of same width as these were written into file. But in both
cases unusual characters are displayed with file data making it
unreadable. Any suggestions....

Show your code and example input. If your code is
long (more than ~100 lines, create a (complete,
compilable) sample program that gives the same
problem.

Yes. Post the relevant code.
