	This warning should be VERY self-explaining.  Name spaces don't work properly
in DJGPP yet.

Here's code that'll work in DJGPP:
#include <iostream.h>
#include <iomanip.h>

int main()
{
        float value1 = 0.1f;
        float value2 = 2.1f;
        value1 -= 0.09f;
        value2 -= 2.09f;

        cout << setprecision(14) << setiosflags(ios::fixed);
        cout << value1 - value2 << endl;

        cout << setprecision(5) << setiosflags(ios::scientific);
        cout << value1 - value2 << endl;

        return 0;
}
