Re: Running Turbo C

I suggest you check how compliant Turbo C is with the standards. The first C standard was ISO 9899:1990 and is normally described as ANSI C. Turbo C from the period you are talking about may be reasonably compliant with that. The second C standard is ISO 9899:1999 and I think this is the current standard. Most C compilers now comply with that (with the notable exception of Microsoft which does not comply in a number of annoying things, mostly to do with include files and external library definitions).

A gcc based solution would comply although it is sometimes pedantically compliant.

eg
        #if     0
                don't do this.
        #endif//0
objects to the unclosed quoted string.

extern void foo(void);

...

static void foo(void)
        {
        ...
        }

objects to the change from extern to static. Still objects if the first line doesn't contain "extern".

Hmm, gcc supports ANSI c if I trust Wikipedia :D. so you should be fine
with the standrad gcc compiler.

I heared a lot of good things about Code::Blocks (www.codeblocks.org)
A full featured C / C ++ IDE based on gcc, but supports differnet modern
compilers (MSVC++, Digital Mars, Borland C++ 5.5, Open Watcom), too.
It can compile code within the IDE and comes with neat features.
Works on Windows and Linux so there is a change you can confince others
(your professor? ;) ) to swich to gcc and Code::Blocks.
Of course all Open Source. :D

Here you find help setting codeblocks up for your distribution:

Hope it helps
