Turbo C for Windows 7

[Kharat]

It would be a pleasure if someone finds the Turbo C for Windows 7 as i am already learning C for next 2 years it would be great to practice programs on my home PC

Any one have?

Is there a reason you want to use Turbo C? I'd highly recommend trying Code::Blocks which also lets you compile C apps as well as C++.

Highlights:

* Open Source! GPLv3, no hidden costs.

* Cross-platform. Runs on Linux, Mac, Windows (uses wxWidgets).

* Written in C++. No interpreted languages or proprietary libs needed.

* Extensible through plugins

Compiler:

* Multiple compiler support:

o GCC (MingW / GNU GCC)

o MSVC++

o Digital Mars

o Borland C++ 5.5

o Open Watcom

o ...and more

* Very fast custom build system (no makefiles needed)

* Support for parallel builds (utilizing your CPU's extra cores)

* Multi-target projects

* Workspaces to combine multiple projects

* Inter-project dependencies inside workspace

* Imports MSVC projects and workspaces (NOTE: assembly code not supported yet)

* Imports Dev-C++ projects

Debugger:

* Interfaces GNU GDB

* Also supports MS CDB (not fully featured)

* Full breakpoints support:

o Code breakpoints

o Data breakpoints (read, write and read/write)

o Breakpoint conditions (break only when an expression is true)

o Breakpoint ignore counts (break only after certain number of hits)

* Display local function symbols and arguments

* User-defined watches (support for watching user-defined types through scripting)

* Call stack

* Disassembly

* Custom memory dump

* Switch between threads

* View CPU registers

Interface:

* Syntax highlighting, customizable and extensible

* Code folding for C++ and XML files.

* Tabbed interface

* Code completion

* Class Browser

* Smart indent

* One-key swap between .h and .c/.cpp files

* Open files list for quick switching between files (optional)

* External customizable "Tools"

* To-do list management with different users

Turbo C is an antique software, designed for the DOS-era. There are many incompatibilities with the C standards as well as with today's OSs (such as direct hardware access). Its better to move to more modern compilers, including Visual C/C++ (Express editions are free), GCC or LLVM. Heck, if you must, use Turbo C++ (the one that was re-launched in 2006). The Explorer edition is free.

I don't want the V2

I want the basic TC which is 7 mb in size

have you tried XP mode ?

How about answering this question :laugh: . soumyasch gave good reasons as to why you shouldn't use Turbo C.

My motherboard does not support Hardware Virtualization

unfortunately ,you are out of luck then.

Well, you aren't going to find it "for Windows 7." It was a commercial DOS product back in 1990. The 32-bit versions of Windows do have a DOS emulator, but I'm not sure if it will run TC. Another option is a virtual machine like QEMU which you've posted a screenshot of (or VirtualBox or VirtualPC). You'd then have to install a DOS variant (like FreeDOS) in this, and then Turbo C in that.

As for getting Turbo C itself, the only legal way appears to be this: http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/21751

Anything else would be piracy and illegal, and against the Neowin rules.

You can also get Windows XP, and MS-DOS 6.0 from MSDNAA.

I don't understand why you need to learn this particular software to pass the class. If this is a properly taught C programming class, then you should be learning C 89/90 which will compile perfectly fine under modern C compilers.

Antique Software: Turbo C++ version 1.01,

This museum version of Turbo C++ is available free of charge to registered users of C++Builder 2007 or later,

RAD Studio 2007 or later or Embarcadero All-Access.

Antique Software: Turbo C version 2.01,

These historical files are provided to the Borland community free of charge.

They may be downloaded and used "as is" for personal use only.

.edit, nvm.

Thread cleaned

Neowin does not consider "abandonware" a legal excuse for piracy. End of discussion. The original poster will have to purchase Turbo C.

[Eric Veteran]

Turbo C is not abandonware. Borland released it to the public. The links Wilhelmus posted to embarcardero.com are the legit files. (Embarcadero is what used to be Borland's language/compiler division AFAIK)

So I assume this is for a class (since you're talking about passing), but what kind of class requires the use of 20 year old software? (especially if it's incompatible with what's in use today, you'll be taught things that are wrong/outdated/etc.)

[Jen Smith]

It should work I would think under DOSBox as well.. a while back, purely for laughs, I managed to get Turbo Pascal 5.5 going under it with little difficulty. Not even sure why I bothered, but... if that fails, of course fire up a virtual machine and just install MSDOS. To be honest, it's more trouble than it's worth though. Back in the day it was great, but it's absolutely painful to use nowadays, let alone useless as you won't be able to run anything you compile except under the emulator. Plenty of freebies out there that are up to date. Visual C++ Express for example. (Or a full blown 2010 Pro if you qualify for DreamSpark, among other freebies that MS provides.)
