First of all, I have programmed in a number of languages and am only
new to C++.  Unfortunately my only reference is the Dummies book on
Borland 4.0, so if anybody could direct me to a better online reference
that might help even more than an answer to my question.

The question is, how do I get include to work?

I am posting an error message I get as well as my source code below.

Note also that I get similar results with gcc under Debian Gnu Linux 3.2
as I get with the DJGPP DOS port, so I think it has more to do with 
syntax than installation, but I could be wrong about that.

Anyway, here's my command line:
E:\A\DJGPP\BIN\Gcc.exe -v -x c++ D:\C\HELLOW.C -o D:\C\HELLOW.exe -lstdc

And the results (wrapped):
> cd D:\c
> E:\A\DJGPP\BIN\Gcc.exe -v -x c++ D:\C\HELLOW.C -o D:\C\HELLOW.exe -lstdc

E:\A\DJGPP\BIN\Gcc.exe -v -x c++ D:\C\HELLOW.C -o D:\C\HELLOW.exe -lstdc

End of search list.
D:\C\HELLOW.C:9: iostream.h: No such file or directory (ENOENT)

And my source:
/*
     Hello World
     By Jonadab the Unsightly One
     A learning exercise, and the first thing I ever
     compiled (rather *tried to*, thus far) with gcc.
*/

#include <iostream.h>
// also tried without the .h
// also tried with quotes instead of brokets.
// also tried both of the above at once.

int main
     {
          cout << "Hello, World!\n";
          return 1;
     }
     
// end of source.

So, can someone please tell me what stupid mistake I am making
so I can get on with it.
