Re: [Dev-C++] Dev-C++] won't let me see the results

iostream adds a lot to the size of the executable due to license issues. 
stdio however, does not. If you are writing a C++ application you'll want to 
include cstdio rather than stdio.h, I found that you get a smaller 
executable that way. I dislike iostream to begin with anyway, I only use it 
when I absolutely have to. stdio is the way to go if you ask me, but that's 
a matter of personal preference.
