Use a istrstream as input stream or use a modified inputbuffer. There's
one of Ruslan Zashukin floating in the archive and also one of Geoff Leland
(if I got the name right). I'm not quite sure if I added it to my devel
version yet have to check... My devel version also contains an example of
the strstream approach, it should also be on the forum (and maybe even the
faq..) Mail me directly if you need one of these.
