Run C++ (Full Screen mode) in Windows7

The installation procedure of TC++ compiler is very simple. However if you install TC++ compiler in windows Vista/7, window size becomes very small. or you may get following error when you tried to open TC++

To overcome this you can download x86 emulator called DOSBOX from the following link

http://sourceforge.net/projects/dosbox/files/dosbox/

once you have downloaded this emulator carry out the following steps:

  1. install the dosbox
  2. create a folder called 'Turbo' on your c drive
  3. copy entire Turbo C++ software inside this 'c:\Turbo' folder
  4. start dosbox
  5. you would be presented with two screens. you need to use the one which has z> prompt in it. 
  6. Type the following command at z>prompt
  7. mount x c:\Turbo
    mount d c:\Turbo\TC
    d:
    cd bin
    tc
    By typing the last command "tc" you are executing the turbo c++ software. This would bring up the normal blue colored TC++ window. to increase the window size just press Alt+Enter. now the TC++ window will accommodate the entire screen.
  8. go to option menu (Alt+o), select directories menu, change include and library directory such that they contain the following entries: 
  9. x:\tc\include
    x:\tc\lib
  10. once you have typed and saved program do not compile it usual Ctrl+f9, compile it using the compile menu and execute it using run menu.
