Do you have a how-to of running Turbo C++ 3.0 under
DosBox? 
Apparently, many still fail to realize that Turbo C or
Turbo C++ 3.0 is a 16-bit compiler and tends to
emulate a DOS environment when working in Windows 2000
Professional (:-0) or Windows XP. It is also equally
important for people to know that a lot of graphic
capabilities it offers is restricted to the product
itself. 

However, the product continues to enjoy disk space on
many computers across Computer Labs in Mumbai colleges
conducting BSc (CS & IT), and guess what, MSc(CS & IT)
courses.
