works fine using gcc

[deodiaus]

In my program I
#include <ostream>
#include <iostream>//cout
#include <strstream>
---------------------------------
I am using vcdev 6 and getting the following error
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\strstream(87)
'ostream' : base class undefined


any ideas why??
Could it be that I might have a
#include <fstream.h>
somewhere
which is obsolete,and had a warning from gcc?

Perhaps you need to bring 'ostream' name to the global namespace
before including the old header <strstream>. Otherwise, try to
use <sstream>, it's newer and therefore better.

Yes, this is your problem. Some versions of MSVC have big problems mixing
old and new streams. It is a bad idea anyhow, so don't do that(tm).
