  No shame in that.  At least on OS/2 you can do that.   I pity the
  newbies who want to learn C++ on platforms where

     #include 
     int main (int, char **) { cout << "Hello There."
<< endl ; return 0; }

  is *below* the minimum amount of code necessary to get anything
  visible on the screen.  It must be an incredible hurdle.

  The OS/2 Online Book Collection (which I mentioned before) is very
  cheap and well worthwhile, though.

  I don't know exactly.  Somewhere in Sussex.  It's an STD call from
  where I actually am, anyway.  (-:
