I'm running Borland C++ 5.02 under Windows 98 ad this code seems to work
fine in an EasyWin and DOS project;

#include <conio.h>
#include <iostream.h>

int main(void)
 {
   float input;
   cout << "Please enter a float: ";
   cin >> input;
   cout << "You entered " << input << endl;
   getch();
   return(0);
   }

What's your computer specs?
