1. Download and install : http://www.windows8downloads.com/win8-dosbox-auifqjbh/
2. Download the Turbo C++ files: http://www.windows8downloads.com/win8-turbo-cedqfuffj/
3. Create a folder, for example Turbo (c:\Turbo\)
4. Extract Turbo C++ into the Turbo folder (c:\Turbo\)
5. Run the DOSBox from the icon located on the desktop and type the following commands at
the command prompt [Z]: mount d c:\Turbo\
Now you should get a message which says: Drive D is mounted as a local directory c:\Turbo\
6. Type d: to shift to Drive D

7. To run the install type: install.exe and press 2x
Enter

8. Enter the Source drive: D and press Enter to continue

9. Enter the Source path: \ and press Enter to continue

10. In directories specify where Turbo C files are copied. E.g. D:\TC . When done go to start
installation and press Enter

11. Successful installation press any key to continue to view readme file

12. Successful installation to exit press [ESC] and close DOSBox. Installation of Turbo C++ is
done


Start TurboC++ in the DOSBox automatically:
1. For DOSBox versions older than 0.73 browse into program installation folder and open the
dosbox.conf file in any text editor. For version 0.74 go to Metro (press key [WIN]) and click
on DOSBox 0.74 options.

2. Scroll down to the very end, and add the lines in the picture, save, close and run DOSBox
now.

3. Automatically mount and start Turbo C++3.0 in DOSBox


Please note:
Full screen: press [Alt] + [Enter]
When you exit from the DOSBox [precisely when you unmount the virtual drive where Turbo
C++ 3.0 has been mounted] all the files you have saved or made changes in Turbo C++ 3.0 will
be copied into the source directory (the directory which contains TC folder)
Dont use shortcut keys to perform operations in TC because they might be a shortcut key for
DOSBox also. E.g. [Ctrl]+[F9] will exit DOSBOX rather running the code.

How to use [Ctrl]+[F9] (Run) without closing down DOSBox
1. press [ctrl]+[F1] while running Turbo C++ to view/change the mapper commands.
2. click on ShutDown,
3. then (click) on del,
4. then (click) add
5. and then press q on your keyboard. Then click mod1 in the lower left corner to close
DOSBox with [ctrl]+[q]
6. click on save

Now you can use [ctrl]+[F9] in Turbo C++ as usual and [crtl]+[q] to close DOSBox.

You can do the same with [ctrl]+[F1] (for topic search) by clicking on mapper and changing
the command as described above.

To reset the mapping, just run the Reset KeyMapper-file in the DOSBox folder.

mount d c:\turbo\
d:
cd tc
cd bin
