I am looking for a good reference manual for all the C++ classes that,
minimally, are a part of ANSI C++ in somewhat the same layout that VB 5.0
has, whereby it shows an object and all of its methods and properties.

I am currently using MS C++ Enterprise Edition version 4.2 and the reference
manuals SUCK!   For example, to look up all of the enumerations of the open
function, I have to dig and dig and dig to see what other ios::* modes there
are and what each one does.  It is driving me up the wall!

So, if someone can recommend a good reference (either printed or online) I
would be greatly appreciative.  It does not have to be MS necessarily, as I
write unix software as well.

If MS C++ 5.0 reference manuals have been re-vamped, then please let me
know, that is also an option.

Thanks,

 Hmmm. Why don't you just put the cursor on "ios" and press
F1?
