Help with errors during compilation

Hello,

it's me again, the programming illiterate that needs to compile things

I need to get this pbem host to compile: http://www.prankster.com/project/downlo … _4_0_4.tgz

Right off the bat it throws this error:

make

                 from ../aregion.h:32,

../astring.h:28:22: fatal error: iostream.h: No such file or directory                                                                                
compilation terminated.                                                                                                                               
make: *** [obj/extra.o] Error 1

which I was able to work around by changing the reference to iostream.h to iostream in astring.h

But after doing this I get:

extra.cpp:167:53: warning: deprec

and that goes well beyond me to even attempt trial&error to get past...

Any coders out there able to point me in the right direction?

This code is pre <header.h> to <header>-with-namespace change. astring.h needs one of the following:
a 'using namespace std;' near the top;
a set of 'using x;' at the top where x is ostream, istream and other classes in std; or
ostream, istream and other classes in std must be prefixed with 'std::'

This may help:

I found someone who fixed-hacked it to compile on my machine, thank you

it works , good
for reference here is the gcc porting guide -- there have been a lot of changes.
gcc 4.0 to gcc 4.3
