As far as your include files (*.h), it can get pretty complex.  Basically, you
do it two
different ways.

First, like this ...

#include <iostream.h>

If you do this, then the compiler needs to know where your stash of include
files are located.
That should have been done when the compiler was installed.  If not, you'll need
to look at the
compiler documentation and pass the location to the compiler using command line
switches.  (I use
Borland C++ 5.02, which is a little different from Builder.

Or, you can do this:
#include "Janprog.h"

If you do this, it will look for the header in the same directory as the *.cpp
source file.

Finally, I *think* if you use <iostreams.h>, then all the declarations in
iostreams are placed in
the global namespace.  If you type <iostreams>, then you would access its
functions using the C++
line 

using namespace std;

but I'm not 100% sure on that.

This is not a gripe, Jan, but remember that this is a Euphoria mailing list. 
The Borland
community has quite a few mailing list for C++ questions ... I've used them
myself.  Go to
community.borland.com, then select the C++ department.

One other thing.  Please consider not sending your vCard in your messages.  (Had
to look up the
extension to figure out what it is.)  There is something wrong with them, and it
keeps setting
off a warning in my browser (Opera5).  The more security minded among us may
delete your email
without a second thought.

Smile!
