Turbo C in XP

[Raghav Sam]

Just going back to old days. Am going to try some C programming again. Just wanted to check if it is okay to run Turbo C in Win XP.

It should still work on the command prompt.
But remember it will only produce 16 bit DOS executables, not Win32 exes (not even Win32 console applications).

It's also not compliant to current C standards (let alone C++ which it won't do at all).

There is a free Win32 commandline compiler you can download from Borland, or several from Microsoft (the 2003 and 2005 versions in fact, but you will need the platform SDK with the 2005 version at least to do non-.NET stuff, and there are some problems building distributions of things created with the 2005 version to run on other machines, you need external tools for that).
