    <XXX.h> or just <XXX>?

    Which headers ought to be used? Which is practical?

    <XXX> should be used. These are the standard headers, and non-standard headers may not be supported in future versions of whatever compiler you're using.

    Wink

    <xxxx> is only compatible in gui compilers as i have found out microsoft visual, borland 5.0 etc. they also except <xxxx.h>. so in these it would be poinless to use <xxxx.h>. If you compile your code on a number of different platforms and compilers like me then you would have to use <xxxx.h> so linux,bsd,cygnus, and 16bit old c++ compilers will be compatible with your code and not annoy you.
