You don't have to do this, and for tiny programs it's probably not needed. 
For larger programs I cannot begin to imagine how inefficient it would be to 
have it all in one file, let alone when I want to reuse an existing class in 
another project.

You sound like you need to get a decent book on C++ (NOT C) and get a modern 
IDE (Visuall C++ Express will let you do standard C++ without any .net stuff 
and is free).

Of course if you're stuck writing a whole program in one C file in notepad 
things are gonna suck big time.
