You gotta be kidding me!  That's basically "Hello World" down there...

----------------------------------------------------------------------

#include <iostream>        /* don't need the .h part */
int main()                 /* could use void, but no difference */
{                                /* um, it's a bracket */
    cout << "Hello World!\n";    /* Hello to you too! */
    return 0;                    /* program terminates normally */
}                                /* hey it's another bracket! yea! */

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Now if that don't compile in DJGPP or VC++ or Borland, then we got some
serious problems....
