Change the program from:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Hello World!\n";
    return 0;
}

to:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
      std::cout << "Hello World!\n";
      system("PAUSE");
      return 0;
}

If you add the "#INCLUDE <stdlin.h>" and "system(*"PAUSE");" to each of the
programs in the book, you will be able to see the programs' output. You can
also open a DOS or command window and execute the program in that window.
That is a bit of a pain in the ass, but it works very well.

Regards,

Bob
