    Compiling C++

    I am a new at learning C++ programming. I have a Borland 5.51 compiler. I just typed and and made an attempt to compile my first program. But, I recieved an error that says Fatal F1003 C:\Borland\ Include\stdcomp.h 5:Error directive: Must use C++ for STDCOMP.H. I thought that #include <iostream.h> was the opening header for the cout<<. When I configured my Borland 5.51 compiler during the earlier part of this year, I don't recall stdcomp.h being in the bcc32.cfg path. This is my code:

    #include <iostream.h>

    int main()
    {

    cout<<"Hey, you, I'm alive! Oh, and Hello World!";
    return 0;

    }

    So, do you have any idea were I went wrong.

    well you need to be sure cause if its a .c then it won't compile and might give you that error.
