That's clear indication that this code is indeed assuming an
old-fashioned, no longer correct version of the C++ language.

If earlier books by him, and their reputation, are anything to go by,
your best bet would be to throw away that book and get a useful one.
The one by Stroustrup should be up to date, e.g.

Mr. Schildt is well-known for writing lots of books; in a very clear
and understandable style, too.  But unfortunately, he's also known to
make so many massive errors that there's at least one on every page on
every book of his (excepting those where he wrote only half of the
pages, like his famous "commented ANSI C standard").

If you see a C++ book that still has <iostream.h> all over the place,
get a different one.
