The source in the book refuses to work well under C++, and prefers C. It is 
also highly reliant on a MicroSoft compiler. Basically, don't change the 
compiler, just change the source. You'll find that there's often a Turbo 
C++/ANSI C++ version of a command that has been used in the book, as opposed 
to the MS specific one.
The source code in the book is poor though. Try understanding the theory, and 
then writing it yourself. A lot of the functions are poorly written, and are 
badly optimised.
