Oops, sorry. I just assumed that everyone else would assume that it was
VC, which it is.

It is assumed, but people use versions from VC6 to VC8 (aka VS2005).

2005 to be specific. As to environment, that's where my
newbiness comes into play. I'm not sure how to describe it or what to
tell you. As is evidenced by the program, it's nothing more than a
simple command-line program, therefore I'm trying to compile it to a DOS
environment.

Nah, not DOS. ;)

What you mean is a console-based program, as opposed to one using windows.
Both are still real 32-Bit MS Windows programs. The point was also rather
whether you might be compiling for MS Windows CE perhaps. For those
targets, MS only ships a crippled C++ standardlib, which also means no C++
IOStreams. On those platforms you would have to provide a different lib
like e.g. STLport or Dinkumware's.

Anyway, if a wizard-generated console project doesn't compile, your
installation of VS is either incomplete or broken.
