1) It's not "your" iostream.h --- you neither own it, nor did you make it.
2) It's not the file iostream.h that's deprecated, but the fact that your
   C++ source is trying to use it --- <iostream.h> has been discontinued 
   by the ANSI/ISO C++ Standard.  You're supposed to use <iostream> and
   explicitly state the namespace you're in.  I.e. your code is deprecated,
   not iostream.h as such.
