<iostream> is impossible. Now I've tried to install the stlport library
following the advices given in a posting. If I type in cmd:
smake -f dm.mak C:\dm\stlport\src\ I'll get the error message:
SMAKE fatal error:DM.MAK(1): can't open DM.MAK.

Thanks in advance for any advices

This is a FAQ -- and I'm tempted to just say "RTFM". Really.

You need to tell DMC where the STLport header files are, i.e., add
"-I\dm\stlport\stlport" to the compiler's command line.

Using the IDDE (coming with the cd)to compile an already well-tested code
there's the error message :"can't open input file <iostream>". After adding 
C:\dm\stlport\stlport before C:\dm\include to the environment variable as

Were this truly a bug, you'd think that more people would be complaining 
about it.

Instead of munging the INCLUDE environment variable (which you really don't 
need to do), <hint>try changing the include path in the project options.</hint>

Thank you for this hint. It is only necessary to type into the field
"include directories" (under "initial settings") C:\dm\stlport\stlport.
In this way no problem occurs apart from the fact that the generated console-
exe-files are much more voluminous compared to the case if one uses the old
header files.
Thank you once more.
