    Try:

    #include "vcl.h"

    If you get the same error, then as the error says: there is no such file, so you have to find that file and insert it into your project.

    Either this.

    or the Visual Component Library...

    Not standard. It will probably come standard with Borland compilers, because it's a Borland library.

    vcl.h is a Borland specific header - without one of the various Borland Builders you won't have it nor be able to use it. Which leaves you with a few choices:

    You could try commenting out the vcl.h line and see whether it's actually used or not (maybe your code doesn't actually use any vcl components).

    You could rewrite the code without the Borland specific stuff.

    Buy/borrow a copy of a version of Borland builder compatible with the vcl components referenced in your code.

    Actually, spaces don't really matter:
    Code:
    #include<iostream>
    # include <fstream>
    If you get the same error, then as the error says: there is no such file, so you have to find that file and insert it into your project.
    The OP would need the library, too, not just the header file. It's like everyone asking "Where can I get DOS.H?"
    But actually those guys also wrote it in visual c++,
    Well, not with your version.
    and re writting all this stuff, could take more than 20 days..
    How do you know? Maybe it'll only take 19.

    If you don't want to convert it to compile under MSVC 6, then download a Borland compiler.

    Import Library (.lib)

    Can a .lib that was built with Borland Builder++ be used in another compiler if the .lib build linked in VCL?

    It's 2015. Get a new compiler. Visual C++ 6.0 was released in 1998, and has long been obsolete. VCL will not work with Microsoft's compiler. If you want to develop Windows applications in C++, look into Qt. Qt is free, open source, and supports a multitude of platforms, including all the major mobile device platforms.
    What can this strange device be?
    When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
    It's got wires that vibrate and give music
    What can this thing be that I found?
