Hi

Total C++ newbie here. I just started studying C++ after getting bored
with Visual Basic, but DJGPP is choking severely on the incredibly
simple program below. The program itself is fine, but on compiling a
BUCKET load of errors appear from iostream.h. In an attempt to fix it,
I even reinstalled DJGPP all over again, and that just made even more
errors. Included below is the brain damagingly easy program. (Standard
"Hello World!" program) followed by the multitude of errors. Bearing
in mind this is the first program in the book I have, this is making
it pretty hard to learn C++. (If I had any hair left, I`d be pulling
it out.) I've tested it on a Unix box using emacs and g++ and it works
just fine, no errors on compiling.

If you could email me (removing the obvious from the address) that`d
be great, but as you're being courteous enough to help me, you don't
have to. I'll just be glad of an answer in whatever form. I've finally
motivated myself to get started on learning C++, and it chokes on the
first thing I do.:(
 
#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
   cout << "Hello World!\n";
   return 0;
}
