You include either <stdlib.h>  or  <cstdlib>, but not <cstdlib.h> (hope 
this is true for DM).

Prepended header files with 'c' indicate the standardized ruling for using
the C runtime library (standard portions) with C++. Thus time becomes
<ctime> instead of <time.h>, <stdio.h> becomes <cstdio>, <stdlib.h> becomes
<cstdlib>, etc. Are you writing in C or C++? If it's C++, there should be no
.h (though you may sometimes, non-standard-ruled for some). Now if you are,
take into account which Standard Library you are using. I've had some
problems with namespaces with the SGI (which is why STLPort is available).

The difference between <cname> and <name.h> in C++ is that all 
identifiers (except macros) are in namespace std when <cname> is 
included and in global namespace if <name.h> is included.
For now I still use the 'original' c-headers (old men move slowly <g>).
