You should indeed be including <iostream> rather than <iostream.h>. Then, be aware that most (all?) of the standard headers - i.e. the ones without the ".h" - put everything in the namespace "std", so e.g. you have to reference cout as std::cout. BTW cout is a standard library class (it incorporates the functionality of stdout and much more), so you won't find a man page for it, but you will certainly find it in your C++ textbook, probably under I/O stream classes or somesuch. Read up on namespaces too. It's a steep learning curve, but hands-on is a good approach :) Good luck, -- Lionel B _______________________________________________ help-gplusplus mailing list help-gplusplus@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gplusplus
