For the second error: you have to decide if you want to learn an old
version if C++ or not. If not then you need another book. (Using
iostream.h is wrong in current C++.)

For the first error: we need to see the command line you used for
compiling and the complete error message typed in correctly. A listing
of what files you have in the directory you are in would be good as
well.

For any problem you have it's a good idea to state which OS and
version you use too.


Right,
