C++ and visual C++ are different things?...
why in some tuts it says to write
#include <iostream>
and in others
#include <iostream.h>
?
please answer >.>

Really there is no point to use iostream.h. Whenever it says to do that just put iostream instead. And visual C++ is just an IDE. It's basically the same, except it generates your form, and your controls for you.

Figured you might want to know this as well.

There is a difference between using:

#include "iostream"
and
#include <iostream>

Using the quoted style means you are telling the preprocessor to look for your include file in the same directory that the calling file is located in. After it looks there, it then looks in any other file that is calling it and looks in their location as well. Afterward, the preprocessor will search directories that are specified by the /I compiler option. (MSVS compiler option, might be the same with others if they follow the same standards.) Then, it will scan all the folders that are listed in the INCLUDE environment variable.

Using the angle-bracet form tells the preprocessor to skip the local directory of the file thats calling the include and look inside the paths defined with the /I compiler option, then looks in the INCLUDE environment paths.

As for some files missing the .h, it's due to depreciation of unsafe versions. The new versions (the ones without the .h) are the 'safe' versions of the files that include extra security to prevent things like buffer overflows and such.
