No, they're not.  Headers are nearly always specific not only to the
compiler, but to the specific version of the compiler you're using. If I
sent you, say, the iostream.h from BC 4.5, TC++ 1.01 wouldn't be able to
compile it at all.
On top of that, headers are consistently copyrighted, so anybody who
sent you a copy would most likely be breaking the law.  (The only
exception would be if the person sending the copy lived in a country
with no copyriht laws, or with laws that didn't conform to the Bern
Convention.  In any case, you'd be breaking copyright laws if you
attempted to use what they sent.

You're probably going to have to re-install the compiler from the
original disks.  If they're damaged, you _might_ be able to get Borland
to send you a replacement disk.
However, if humanly possible, I'd suggest getting a newer compiler.  C++
has progressed _considerably_ since 1990, and much of what you see, hear
and read about C++ simply won't work with this old of a compiler.  What
you'll learn using it can't really be considered C++ any longer, and
honestly (if my memory of TC++ 1.01 is at all accurate) never really
could.  TC++ 1.0 was (obviously) Borland's first attempt at a C++
compiler.  While it was a reasonable first attempt, it was severely
flawed in a number of ways.
    Later,
    Jerry.
