Hello, I'm writing a program where I take a prewritten text file and a. convert it into binary, b. write text to that binary file, c. display an output report and d. sort by employee name. I can do a,c and d, but I am having a hrad time with b. If some one could just steer me in teh right direction on where I'm going wrong in the dataEntryToBinary class I would really appreciate it. Also I am posting the text file that accompanies the program.

#include "conio.h"
#include "string.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
//#include <cctype> // for toupper
