Hi

This simple program compiled with DMC 8.34

#include <iostream.h>
using namespace std;

int main() {
   bool b;
   short n;

   cin  >> n >> b;
   cout << n << b;

   return 0;
}

gives me the following error message

dmc main.cpp -A -c -s -mld -v1 -o -3
   cin  >> n >> b;
                        ^
main.cpp(9) : Error: reference must refer to same type or be const
Had: bool
and: int &
main.cpp(14) : Error: need at least one external def
--- errorlevel 1

any ideas ?

Try using the more modern iostream, which is <iostream>. Be sure to set the include path to include \dm\stlport\stlport.
