#warning deprecated or antiquated header

MTTbmlc (4)
I am working on a program that has 3 header files that were provided by the instructor. If I am reading the information on my compiler (Dev-C++) correctly, the problem is one of those header files --- my program runs correctly. The wording in the compile is: #warning This file includes at least one deprecated or antiquated header.(this also points to line 4: #include <strstream>) Am I missing something on the header file?

Google up that header name. According to Microsoft, this is a string stream that works with char*. Since STL provides a more generic string stream that works with std::basic_string<>, I'd say you should use the stream in <sstream> and ditch <strstream>.

when I do that I get several other errors .. here is my compile log now:

I don't see where I would get docked any points since this file was provided for the program.

FYI, when I recommended switching to sstream, I never said it was a DIRECT replacement. I don't know the class(es) inside strstream so I cannot say if the methods and functionality in general is the same. I just tried to explain why you were getting the warning. It is ultimately up to you if you use the deprecated header or not.
