Hi all,

    I'm using RHIDE 1.4.9. I'm new at C; my only other programming
experience was with QB, and it didn't involve libraries, objects or the
like, so please excuse me if what I say here sounds odd.

    After installing DJGPP, I followed a tutorial and typed out a Hello
World program, using iostream.h as the library, (i.e. #include
<iostream.h>). However, DJGPP doesn't compile it and tells me 'iostream.h:
No such file or directory'. I searched around and found iostream.h in the
lang\cxx-v31\backward directory, so I copied the file over to \include. Now
it tells me another file, backward_warning.h is not found. I looked at
iostream.h using a text editor, and saw that it has a #include
nackward_warning.h line in it, so I figure the libraries link to each other.
I've tried things like copying the contents of \lang into \include, changing
the Include directory, but I still keep getting missing file errors. When I
typed out programs using stdio.h, everything worked fine tho.

How should I set up iostream.h and the associated files so that it works?
