Turbo C++

Turbo C++ is an upgraded and optimized version of the famous DOS-based Borland Turbo C++ integrated development environment that can now be run on modern versions of Windows such as Vista, 7, 8, and 10. It carries with it all the previously praised features and toolsets found in Borland Turbo C++ for PC but has managed to completely eliminate nearly all of the previously present incompatibility issues that prevented the use of the native version of this IDE tool on modern Windows editions. To make compatibility even better, the latest versions of the app fully support both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.

Before the arrival of modern graphically-based software development environments, all the major applications were created inside DOS-based environments. Even though such old IDE platforms were surpassed over the years by more capable software development tools, the Borland app still has its uses today. That fact has pushed modern developers to find a way to make this old IDE accessible on modern Windows systems. Specifically, the program version 3, which has garnered a reputation for being the most stable version out of them all.

Installation and Use

It comes in a very small installation package that will copy all the necessary files to your local storage in mere seconds. Because of the age of the original software (which was developed and actively used all around the world in the late 80s and early 90s), the tool will not strain your PC configuration, no matter how old or resource-starved is. It requires a true minimum of resources and will not slow down the rest of your Windows applications a bit.

The biggest addition to the Windows version of this app is its enhanced stability. This compatibility is achieved using an emulation of the old DOS environment, thus enabling the program to operate without accessing any of the present features of modern Windows OS. By using this approach, the app can be run without any issues on many modern versions of Windows and requires just a couple of code adjustments to manage the successful launch and proper functioning of this software development program.

TurboC++ is equipped with all the features of the old IDE – a fully-featured compiler for the creation of DOS apps, a powerful debugger, the DOS shell, support for breakpoints, code inspection, tracing, watches and more. The app can be run both in windowed and full-screen mode.

If you are a fan of the old Turbo C for Windows from the early 1990s, or you require to create, modify or test DOS apps, this modern IDE package represents the most streamlined, stable, and easy-to-access way you can achieve that on modern Windows OS.
