Hello,

I really appreciate for your kind answering my previous question. 
Here is another one. 

In my g++ program, I wanted to include both <stream.h> and X11 things
as follows:

#include <stream.h>

#include <X11/Intrinsic.h>
#include <X11/StringDefs.h>
#include <X11/Shell.h>

...

I am afraid they do not like each other.  Though I tried the
followings and it reduces number of error messages such as "type
conflict, shadowing, etc.", it did not work either:

#include <stream.h>

extern "C" {
#include <X11/Intrinsic.h>
#include <X11/StringDefs.h>
#include <X11/Shell.h>
}
...

Is it a system-specific problem or I did the wrong thing?
Could you please let me know what is the problem? 

Additionally, what are the general differences between C and C++ when
we are programming X-window applications? I had no trouble with C
programming. Thanks a lot.

Best,
Jee-In
