I've used C (albeit on unix) for a very long time.  I've decided to do a rather silly thing, which is learn win32 and C++ at the same time....

Anyway, I've picked up a C++ book and it talks about a new way of using #include with the standard libraries.

#include <iostream>

        instead of

#include <iostream.h>

This leads to two questions:

Is this behavior supported?

Is this the style most folks use or do you slip back to the .h format?

The modern way is the .h-less way. DMC++ isn't there yet with iostream. -Walter
