All help appreciated. - bardito AT aracnet DOT com You really should give more information - it's difficult to troubleshoot without knowing the exact error message and command line used. General points: 1) cin and cout are C++, so you should save your source code as a .cc file and use gxx to compile it. 2) Your main() function doesn't return; it should (just put `return 0;' at the end). It is also better to write `int main()' instead of `main()' (or maybe this is just my personal preference?). On my system the program compiles as quoted above, using gxx to compile and link, without errors or warnings, though. -- George Foot Merton College, Oxford.
