Yes, just use fstreams and open the file with the binary flag, then you can handle the resource like a normal fstream and stream it into a text file. If you want to convert the 0 and 1 to chars it will get a bit more complicated. The easiest way for that will most likely be to buffer the bytes in unsigned chars like here and then try to manipulate those via sprintf.
For better or worse, I find this easiest done with printf.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
