>Description:
I want to compile a c++-program, which includes
'iostream.h'. I get the following errors:

/opt/gcc-2.95.1/include/g++/iostream.h:50: invalid type `void *' for default argument to `ostream *'
/opt/gcc-2.95.1/include/g++/iostream.h:123: invalid type `void *' for default argument to `ostream *'
/opt/gcc-2.95.1/include/g++/iostream.h:231: invalid type `void *' for default argument to `ostream *'

and the compiling ends.
This means: The default argument NULL is not of type 'ostream*'.

With 'gcc 2.8.1' i gets the same messages, but they
were only warnings.
How can i fix it? The changing of the "standard includes"
is a bad idea.

Thanks,
Andreas
