Question

I want to run Turbo C++ in my 64bit laptop? But I can't find any version of tc that support 64bit platforms.

Do you know of any place I can download a compatible version?

Answer 1

Not off the top of my head, but you could run up a 32 bit VM and use that.

Answer 2

If it is a DOS application, then you can run it in virtual machine or in DosBOX. Although DosBOX made for running DOS games, it should handle Turbo C and it is easier to set up than full VM.

Answer 3

Your best bet is to run it in a virtual machine like Bochs, which specialises in emulating the older stuff.

You can run FreeDOS inside it so you're not bothered by licensing issues, although it will run MS DOS if you have a valid copy.

But I have to admit, I agree with your commenters. You'd be better off teaching your students with a more modern compiler. Code::Blocks springs to mind and Microsoft themselves release a free (as in cost, not freedom) Visual C package.
