+wxWidgets provides its own set of stream classes in order to support platforms
+not providing standard C++ streams implementation and also to make it possible
+to provide binary versions of wxWidgets application not depending on any
+particular standard library version. The wxWidgets stream classes also provide
+some functionality not available in the standard library such as support for
+several compression formats and possibility to work with sockets or text
+controls (for output only in the latter case).

+Nevertheless wxWidgets programs can also use standard stream classes and are
+encouraged to do so if the above considerations don't apply. Moreover,
+wxStdInputStream and wxStdOutputStream classes are provided to provide a degree
+of interoperability between the two and make it possible to use any wxWidgets
+stream as a standard stream (the converse possibility to use a standard stream
+as a wxWidgets stream is planned for a future release).

 
 
 
 
 
 

-@section overview_stream_intro Introduction
-
-wxWidgets provides its own set of stream classes in order to be
-independent of the standard C++ stream class and their different
-implementations.
-
-Besides, using @c std::iostream on Linux makes impossible to write programs that are
-binary compatible across different Linux distributions.
-
-Therefore, wxStreams have been added to wxWidgets so that an applications can
-reliably compile and run on all supported platforms without dependence on a
-particular release of libg++.
