The header files named xxx.h are old and don't use namespace. They 
should only be used for old code.
Use the header <iostrem> instead. Include the stlport path somewhere so 
that the compiler will find the header. The command line to compile the 
file would be
  dmc  -Ic:\dm\stlport\stlport  example.cpp
