make sure you configured the bcc32.cfg and ilink32.cfg as explained in 
the readme.txt file in your BCC directory. 

Also you should use #include <iostream> and drop the .h since it's 
deprecated. When using this you'll have to also use the std:: resolution 
operator since the standard stuff is in the std namespace now. If you 
prefer not to type std:: for every cin and cout you do then you can join 
the std into the global namespace by putting using namespace std; near 
the top of your source.

Hope that helps
