Chatbot: Many Issues

MattOkay (3)
Well. After a 2-3 year break from programming (Done a bit, but no C or C++ unfortunaly), I finally wanted to start a little project.

I fell across this 'tutorial' on making a 'rather' advanced chatbot.
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/bot_tutorial.aspx

To make this relatively short, I'm using Dev-C++ as the compiler.
I don't have any trouble compiling the chatterbot 2, but when it comes to chatterbot 3, I have multiple errors and warnings.

Non of the V(string) commands/parametres seems to be recognized.

Any help appreciated, as well as articles on the various methods (string for example) ;)

I'll see if I can work it out in the mean time.
