Posted by : Unknown

I've seen many people using c in virtual machines by running virtual xp,because Turbo c is not supported by windows 7 or full screen view is not.but that process involves lot of work,so to save your energy for programming,try the below steps:
- Download DOSBox (1.5 MB)
- Then Download TURBO C(3 MB)
- Install DOSBox
- Extract the files from TURBO C and copy the folder tc to c drive.the (yes the c drive"C:\")
- Now run DOSBox,
NOTE: another window pops up in the background,don't worry it's useless,but don't close it.
- now type the following code :
mount d c:\
- It gives a suggestion to mount in a directory/sub-directory from next time,you can safely ignore it.
- You must get the message saying "Drive D is mounted as local directory c:\"
- Now type in the following code:
d:
cd tc
cd bin
tc
It looks as below:
- Noticed the changing directory paths?here what we are trying to do is run the application "TC.EXE" using DOSBox.
- Ok,now hit enter and Turbo c will start running.
- Now,you need to change the directories, goto options ->directories
- Make D: as your default directory (after editing,all the columns must look as shown)
- Now you can use TURBO C.
CAUTION: Don't use the keyboard shortcut"cntrl+F9" because it is DOSBox Keyboard shortcut for Exit option.
