7Are you really sure you want to be using a 16-bit compiler in 2010? – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Oct 20 '10 at 05:26

@Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams:- In most of the universities and colleges this is the only compiler that you can use. Being a student you don't have much choice in this colleges. – Manoj R Oct 20 '10 at 05:34

1@Manoj R: _most_? Really? [Some, I could believe, but not most] – James McNellis Oct 20 '10 at 05:35

IS this collage also in a time machine. – rerun Oct 20 '10 at 05:38

1Ok not the most in world. But the most in my city for sure. This can be easily found out at the time of campus interviews. – Manoj R Oct 20 '10 at 05:45

Have they never heard of DJGPP? – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Oct 20 '10 at 05:50

Yeah, why would you use TC when GCC is free (djgpp/code::blocks/etc)? – paxdiablo Oct 20 '10 at 05:55

3Unfortunately the Indian colleges all still seem to each with Turbo C/C++ and some really old and really bad text books (Let Us C, etc). This results in thousands of new graduates each year all writing `void main()`, assuming that ints are 16 bits, and relying on Undefined Behaviour. – Paul R Oct 20 '10 at 06:57

Which version of Turbo C is it? – Prof. Falken Oct 20 '10 at 07:31

Basically, what you want to do, is to
"Open Project". There, you type in a projects name. It must end with ".PRJ". When you open it, it will be created. Then you can add files to the project by pressing "Insert". But have a look at the links below.
In case these links disappear from the Internet, I add some redundant links. The first is the best, also cool is the hundreds of pages long Turbo C manual.

If you use old Borland Turbo C++ (2.0 for DOS) project is text file with .PRJextension.
You can open it like any text file (for example test.c) and write all your files into it.
Each row contains one .c or .cpp file without extension followed by its header in parentheses.
For example
mcalc (mcalc.h)
mcparser (mcalc.h)
mcdisply (mcalc.h)
...
Here mcalc.c has #include "mcalc.h" so that is why it is included in PRJ file.
Other headers for example #include <stdio.h> are not included in .PRJ.
Of course, if your .c has not any header written by you, .PRJ contains file name of your .c without additional parentheses.
After you create your PRJ, save it. In TC editor set project name (Project->Project name) using name of your .PRJ.
And that's it.
