How to Install and Run Turbo C++ Compiler in Windows 7 64 bit Version using DOSBox

Before going further deeply into C language i would i like to draw your attention to the old TC++ compiler which cannot be run on Windows 7 64 bit Version.

In this article i will discuss about running Turbo c++ compiler in Windows 7 64 bit OS .
TC++ compiler is a 16 bit software and cannot be run on 64 bit versions of Windows 7.But TC ++ can be run in 64 bit Windows 7 by using an x86 emulator called DOS Box.


The process of doing this is detailed below in plain text or You can watch the youtube video which i have attached



1)Download and install latest version of DOSBox from www.dosbox.com

2)Open DOSBox


A console window will open type in the following commands by referring the details given below it
___________________________________________________
mount c h:\
c:
cd tc
cd bin
tc
 ___________________________________________________

** Here "c" refers to a virtual drive you can specify any alphabet you like it doesn't matter.
** "h:\ " Refers to the drive which contains the TC Program folder
** "cd tc " command is used to change the active directory to the folder named tc which contains tc.exe and other files if you have changed the original name of this folder use that name instead of tc in this command.

3)TC will open open Options>Directories replace drive letters of all directory specifications by the drive letter you specified earlier in my case "c".
Now you can start doing your program in yur beloved Borland compiler
_For a better look please see the Youtube video i have posted_

Note:It is not recommended to use the old version of TC for doing Programs in new Operating Systems  .You can download the New Version of Turbo C or you can use free and efficient IDE like Pelles C.For More Information on Pelles C view the Post http://c-madeeasy.blogspot.com/2011/07/pelles-c-good-ide-supporting-windows-7.html
