Isn't that a 16-bit program? How could he get it to run on a modern OS?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I loved QuickC for DOS. I used it as my source editor for a long time, even though I was using Watcom C/386 and Microsoft C 7.0 for my tool chain. It was quick (pardon the pun), loading in under a second. It supported editing two files at once (unbelievable convenience), and I could even program the hot keys to whatever I liked.

You want to try it in DosBox on a modern PC! Good grief but it's quick!

Sadly, Turbo C++ was what was used for C++ in the college I graduated from in 2004. I got in touch with a younger student there several years later (at least 3 or 4 years back from present) and they were still using that.

Given that Visual studio has (very cheap) student editions and (free) Express editions, that says a heck of a lot about the college and the likely quality of it's tutors...

I would bet real money they're still using TC++. I'll be visiting my hometown in a week... might just pop over and find out for myself
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if most of the other colleges were using it too

But, but, but, VS doesn't have TurboVision!

Sadly in my country (in two of our "top" technical universities), Turbo C++ is still used. You just need to spend some time install BorlandC compiler and you are the man/woman. Web design is recommended to be used with tables and we can really impress the folks at AutoDesk, showing them how to run AutoCAD 2006 and SolidWorks 2008 simultaneously on a P3 machine with XP and 512 RAM in the best case scenario

Which country is this? Surely you can't be from the US like it says in your profile?

Greetings from Bulgaria. Although our IT and Engineer students indeed are knowledgeable and remarkable, our education system is a nightmare.

I totally know what you mean by the last sentence - it's the same here. If there are good students, it's despite the education system, not because of it.

It's simply a standstill. No professor, lecturer or anybody actually cares. Just take his salary, speak for an hour and good to go (oh let's not forget the extra payment from students to let them pass)... It's good thing we have private academies that actually teaches you (and some does it for free compared to the universities).

Install? Turbo BASIC is just install-by-copy -- and works under Win 7 32-bit. It doesn't work under 64-bit Win 7 or 8.

Yup. Happy birthday to Dave.
Yes, I know he's already posted but it isn't official until someone else starts the thread.

Cheers Pete...
It just occurred to me that I was also offshore for my birthday last year!
At least today being the weekend meant that I was saved from having to endure a sing song down the phone from the rest of the management team onshore and offshore as we don't do a conference call at the weekend.

Happy Birthday Dave

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Ouch. I meant to post that earlier, after a LinkedIn notice, but got distracted by the horrors of the local mall. I seldom click through to express wishes on LinkedIn because that whole pile is so impersonal. Much more impersonal than simply forgetting.
Happy birthday, Dave!

Oh, uhhh, well, happy birthday again, Dave, on the official thread!
Or maybe we need more officiality by starting a thread on the other thread that is not your own birthday thread? And then we'll start a thread about that thread too! Now that's what I call multi-threading!
