<iostream> is the C++ standad header name. i am no expert on this, but
AFAIK, use of .h names has been depracated.

in (2), std refers to the standard namespace.

i would not recommend throwing stroustrup out the window. i guess the
way the proposed and accepted C++ standard changed over the last year
has created some discrepancies between gcc and that book (which i think
the 3rd ed is the latest).

al stevens has a good article on similar problems in the september 97
issues of dr dobbs.
