I am using turbo c++ 4.5, and intend to read and write file using Win32 API. I've applied CreateFile(), but it shows an error:

"Call to undefined function".

I think I need Winbase.h file.

Turbo is pretty outdated. MinGW and Visual Studio will both easily have it. – chris Mar 11 '13 at 06:11

you need a more modern compiler. visual c++ is free. – Cheers and hth. - Alf Mar 11 '13 at 06:14

Turbo C++ is a 20 years old compiler. Why are you using it? – user93353 Mar 11 '13 at 06:15
To be more precise: Turbo C++ 4.5 targets 16-bit Windows, which didn't have a function named `CreateFile` (it was new with Win32). To target 32-bit (or 64-bit) Windows, you *need* to use a newer compiler. – Jerry Coffin Mar 11 '13 at 06:35
Thanks.I need 2 change the compiler ! – codingweek Mar 11 '13 at 06:47
