1) Make your operator<< function a friend of ostream, or 
2) derive your class from ostream   (cout is an instance of an ostream)
#1 
class myoutput
{
   ...rest of class...
   public:
   friend ostream& operator<<(ostream &os, char *s)
       {
           os << s;
           return os;
       }
};
Notice we return the stream reference so we can do multiple operations:
myoutput mout;
mout << "Hello" << "World!";
#2
class myoutput : public ostream
{
  ...rest of class...   
}
That's it. Notice that no operator<< needed to be defined for #2. It inherits
the function from ostream and you would only need to overload it if you 
wanted 
different output.
