Working through "Beginning Programming"
Trying to compile very first C++ file.
The file is saved as template.cpp to D:\ root.

// C++ code template
#include <iostream.h>
void main()
    {
        // code goes here
    }

When I run it I get this message:
Error E2209 d:\template.cpp 2: Unable to open include file iostream.h
*** 1 errors in Compile ***

The file iostream.h does exist in the Include folder.

Help! And thanks in advance.

iostream.h is a C library. Try using a C++ library - iostream - without the .h

Thanks Alan, your answer had me stumped and sent me searching. Discovered that my free C++ compiler uses deprecated elements.
So my Wrox book published in 2005 is telling me how to use code and software which was out of date about 5 years ago.
Anyway I've got things working now. The search revealed that I had to create a couple of cfg files in the bin directory.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Alan.
