That CD-ROM has a very old version of DJGPP, and thus the net pointers
are stale. You will be much better off if you just toss that DJGPP on
CD-ROM and get the latest version from this address:
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/
A mirror closer to you is available at this address:
ftp://nic.switch.ch/mirror/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/
Begin by downloading the file v2/readme.1st under the above directory; it
will explain what files do you need to download (it depends on what do
you intend to do with DJGPP) and how to get started using DJGPP.

That depends on the version of BC++ that you used. C++ is still a moving
target, and if those sources were written for an old compiler version,
chances are they are incompatible with the latest versions of the draft
C++ standard. You should use iostream.h from the latest versions of the
DJGPP C++ libraries.
