: What did the command line invoking the compiler look like? My guess is
: something like:
: gcc -o work work.cc
: The problem with this is it doesn't know to link in the C++ libraries. Try this:
: gxx -o work work.cc

: gxx is the same as g++ on a unix box, just DOS doesn't allow `+' in a
: filename. gxx automatically looks in the C++ libraries.

If you don't have gxx and you are running the DOS version you can type:
gcc work.cc -o work -lgpp
the -lgpp says to add the C++ library which will allow you to use cout.
