I tried to compile the hello world program it said Fatal error unable open input file iostream. Is it the way i installed it which was drag stlport to replace the one in the compiler then drag the file under lib and placed it in the compiler's lib folder.

Dit you add a path to iostream (and the other stl header files) in
sc.ini

In my sc.ini I have:

INCLUDE="%@P%\..\stlport\stlport";"%@P%\..\include";%INCLUDE%

DMC uses .h header naming convention so either you edit the source files to
#include <iostream.h>
or copy over iostream.h in dm/include to a file named "iostream" or create a
file called "iostream"
with the line

#include <iostream.h>


in it to tell the compiler to include the required header without changing
the source files.

Or better, download and install STLPort from Digital Mars.
Then you will get the full standard library.
