I am trying to compile a simple hello-world program and I can't seem to compile correctly.  I only have the downloaded version, but here is the error I get:

Use C++ compiler for iostream.h - invoke with -cpp switch --- errorlevel1

My program is as follows:
#include <iostream.h>

void main()
{
cout << "hello world";
}

I saved my file in C:\dm\bin as helloworld.c And I am compiling from the C:\dm\bin folder by typing dmc helloworld.

Please help,
Thanks,
James

Try:
    dmc helloworld -cpp

I tried that and it creates a file called helloworld.obj.  I still get an error
though.  It says:
OPTLINK : Error 118:Filename Expected
LIB = "C:\Documents and Settings\MyFolder\dm\bin\..\lib";
LIB = "C:\Documents and Settings\MyFolder\dm\bin\..\mfc\lib";

---  Error Level 1

Any ideas????

Thanks again,
James

The problem is you've installed it into a directory with spaces in it (which causes problems with the linker). Try installing it in a directory without spaces.
