GCC (the compiler in DJGPP) likes C++ files to be named *.cc not *.cpp

Nowadays, it's normally done:
#include <iostream>            // note: no .h
using namespace std;          //  namespaces are a new feature in C++

The first line of main() should always be one of these two lines:
int main(void)
int main(const int argc, const char **argv)

The file:// problem can be fixed by leaving a space after // comments.
It's a bug in your newsreader (Outhouse Express).

Try using gxx instead of gcc to compile your C++ programs.
gxx hello.cc -o hello.exe
