does anyone else use the RHIDE compiler?

Hi, I am new to C++ programming (I'm a VB programmer primarily), and I have just got hold of a copy of RHIDE compiler for 32bit DOS. I was wondering how restricted I am making programs that run from dos, how does it compare to windows?

Thanks.

this is the only code i know up to know:

[code]
#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
cout << "Hello World!\n";
return 0;
}
