In our last episode <38301C64 DOT B476CAC0 AT nortelnetworks DOT com>,
the lovely and talented Ian Chapman <ichapman AT nortelnetworks DOT com>

|Mumit,
|	I'm not at all able to see what the issue is.  cout works like any text
|book will tell you.  I did not  know that you could get away with out
|the *.h in the include bit.  Wonder why?  

The .h is a legacy from C.  C doesn't know anything about namespaces.
So when you use .h th compiler will assume the namespace for you.
For C++ you leave out the .h and specify the namespace with using.
To do the same with old C headers, leave out the .h and put a
c in front.
