I recently set up a 286 DOS 3.3  PC to run Turbo  C++ Professional.  I'm in
the process of learning C  better and also  learning C++.  I have installed
TC under a directory  called \system so  I have  \system\tc, etc.  In going
through  the first   example I    copied  the point.cpp from   the examples
directory to my directory (\andy).   When  I compile it I  get an error.  I
have:

#include <iostream.h>

which in turn includes <mem.h> (and the  include in iostream.h  does indeed
say "#include <mem.h>").  The TC compiler says that it can't open mem.h.  I
have  the "Include   Directories"  set   to \system\tc\include   and   both
iostream.h and mem.h reside there.  If I change the code to:

#include <mem.h>
#include <iostream.h>

I  see that the compiler can  find  mem.h and compiles  it without a hitch.
Then it compiles iostream.h and fails again saying it can't find mem.h!!!

What's going on here?
