C++: Ditch Turbo C++ use Relo !

Posted in

Guys ,

There must be many of u studying in school or college who have to use Turbo C++ because the new compilers won't compile the old format code or they don't include the borland specific-headers and the most important , that Turbo C++ being a 16 Bit application does not work under Windows XP/2000 .

Here's an alternative to TC that will compile the old format code just fine under windows XP and into a 32 bit executable .

Here's how u can use Borland's FREE C++ Compiler along with the Relo IDE [i use it myself for school program testing ] :

1. Get Borland's Free C++ Compiler Here

2. Download the Free Relo IDE Here

http://www.fifsoft.com/relo/

3. Now Install Borland's Compiler First n then Relo IDE , it will ask u for Compiler Path during setup , just provide the path where u installed Borland's Compiler n that's it, u have yor Development Environment Set-up and ready to Go .

Relo has a much better Code Editor than TC , and supports a mouse too

Thanks to Zeeshan Quireshi for sharing this tip.

I guess u hv nt read the article carefully:

"Dev C++ is a compiler that follows international current ISO standards for C++ programming. But Indian students are forced to use the age old made in 1991 Turbo C++ 3.0 which follows the obsolete and non valid borland compiler standard. Thus they need something in that useless angle for passing examinations. So they need to use Relo and BCPP5.0 to get a FREE IDE to practice with...

This article is open to all users of internet. So is it necessary that ONLY Indian students will read this ?

worth posting at least.... let the ppl know how worthless the curriculum is.... n how lazy the education board is... its seriously damn sad.... same way, it would be better if we had something like MySQL instead of Oracle, n VB is so so so so old!! it is a ten years... VB6 hasn't been developed even one bit since its latest release in the year 2006!
