the bottome section is the class..and it compiles just fine

I dare say it *compiles* fine, but it doesn't look exactly general
purpose to me. ~ as a line ending means a line length of 106?

You've also got a bug (in at least two places) where you allocate a
buffer, read into it, and then convert the *whole* buffer into a
string, which assumes that the buffer will be filled completely.

I'm sorry to say this, but I just wouldn't trust this code without
picking it apart in detail - and I'd advise the OP to write from
scratch rather than trying to understand what this code does and fix
its issues.
