Sb: #Stream.h Error?

Anyone: While trying to learn C++ I ran the small sample program on page 146 of Rhodes & McKeehan's book "Symantec C++ Programming for the Macintosh". The program starts off with a #include <stream.h>. When compiling this program I get an syntax error on line 7 of stream.h: extern "C++" { I can't believe there is an error in stream.h. Could I be doing something wrong? The program also includes: long startTime = TickCount(); int total = 0; int i; for (i= 0; i < 100000; i++) { total += Value(i); } long finishTime = TickCount(); Here I get a Syntax error for the endTime = statement. I can see no reason for this error – am I missing something Thanks in advance from a novice programmer. Dennis
