    That's why you should make frequent backups of your source files. Make a copy before you start making major changes just in case new changes don't work. I learned that the hard way too

    BTW, the word is deprecated (depreciated means something different), and <iostream.h> isn't deprecated anyway, it is completely non-standard.
    Then (IMO) it's as good as deprecated.
    Good class architecture is not like a Swiss Army Knife; it should be more like a well balanced throwing knife.

    There is an important difference. Deprecated means that it is still standardized and will still work on a standards compliant compiler. Non-standard means it might not. <stdio.h> is deprecated, <iostream.h> is non-standard. <stdio.h> works on VC++ 7.1, <iostream.h> does not. While many people don't know the difference, those who do will understand that non-standard is worse than deprecated and that the distinction is worth noting.

    Funny how one letter can change
    you're using depreciated libraries?
    to
    you're using deprecated libraries?
    and

    to
    the distinction is worth nothing.
