===========================================================================
If you want to compile C++ codes using VC++/VC++ .Net, change
the header file accordingly.  Just need some modification for the header
files...:

-------------------------------------------------
#include <iostream.h>
//for system()
#include <stdlib.h>

...
{
C++ codes...
}
-------------------------------------------------
should be changed to:
-------------------------------------------------
#include <iostream>
//use C++ wrapper to call C functions from C++ programs...
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;

...
{
C++ codes...
}
-------------------------------------------------
In VC++/VC++ .Net the iostream.h (It is C++ header with .h) is not valid anymore.
It should be C++ header, <iostream> so that it comply to the standard.
In older Borland C++ compiler this still works, but not proper any more...
and for standard C/C++ the portability should be no problem or better
you read Module 23 at http://www.tenouk.com/Module23.html to get
the big picture...For C codes, they still C codes, let the compiler
decide... :o)
