cout is a c++ call and you are compiling with the regular 'C' compiler.
To get that program to work you need to use 'gxx'. (e.g instead of gcc
hello.cpp -o hello.exe try gxx hello.cpp -o hello.exe) If your computer
doesn't know what gxx is or it has problems you need to download
gpp281b.zip from the simtel archive, then unzip it (if with pkunzip use
the -d flag) in your djgpp directory and try to compile with gxx again.
