There are a few errors in the above program.
Try:
#include <stdio.h> /* printf is defined in stdio.h and not iostream.h */
int main ()
{
   printf ("Hello world!\n"); /* requires parenthesis (identifies printf as
a function) around the parameters. */
   return (0); /* although the exit () function will exit the program,
return is the correct way to do so */
}

DO NOT DO THIS !!!!
The TCLite include files will NOT be compatible with DJGPP...
Although some of the *.h files will have the same name the contents will be
different, the TCLite ones will probably be using TC specific exxtensions
and the DJGPP ones use DJGPP specific stuff. You MUST use the correct
include files.

The include files should be located in your DJGPP\include directory. If they
are not then you should get them from the DJGPP zips (I'm not sure which
one)

C programming is very different to VB programming. Your best bet'll be to
look at other peoples code and get hold of a book.

You're quite welcome :-)
