‘CD TC\BIN’ and execute TC.EXE to start Turbo C++ This also marked the end of the Turbo C series. Turbo C++ 1.0 is the first true C++ compiler and was release in 1990.

Turbo C 2.0 introduced the blue screen UI, which most people are familiar with. Turbo C 1.0 was released in 1987 for IBM PC’s there were subsequent releases - versions 1.5 in January 1988 and the final version 2.0 in late 1988. Turbo C vs Turbo C++įor those who are wondering if Turbo C and Turbo C++ were the same, they are not. You could find several version of Turbo C/C++ from it. This one is something like an online software museum, which is interesting. You could also find several sites (not the ones with embedded emulator) which has got different versions of Turbo C/C++. Thus you could get it from there legally. Interestingly, they made several versions including original Turbo C++ 1.0 available as freeware at Embarcadero Museum as ‘ Antique software’. You could still get some from Amazon, but I do wonder if you have a working floppy drive lying around.Įmbarcadero Technologies acquired all of Borland’s compiler tools in 2008. Ya, of course they came in floppy disks - 5.25 inch as well as the 3.5 inch disks. It’s old enough to NOT run on most modern desktop PCs/laptops. With the arrival of Windows 3.0, Turbo C++ 3.0 was released with support for Windows. How old is Turbo C/C++ ?Īs you might have doubted, Turbo C++ is a pretty old (28+ years) C/C++ compiler and ‘ IDE’ initially release by Borland Software Corporation for MS-DOS.

Under no circumstances in the 21st century do I intend to help you install Turbo C as your ‘ first’ C/C++ IDE or help you in your mislead quest to ‘ learn C programming using Turbo C/C++’.
