But TurboC can atleast be run inside a DOS VM on Vista.......
Still, as you advised, I will not try to run Turbo C on Windows Vista........

I personally use Bloodshed Dev C++ with MinGW (this is what you previously advised me).

1. My teacher is not forcing me to use it. Instead he "advised" us (me and my college mates) to use Turbo C++ 3.0.
2. It's not only my teacher. Here in my country I see most of teachers and students (and even professional programmers) using Turbo C++ for programming in C. I now it's a very bad practice but people love to go on with the tradition which is going on from many years.
3. I cannot get my teacher to post here, because if I try to do so, he may think I'm trying to prove myself tooo intelligent. And so I don't care. I personally use bloodshed Dev C++ with MinGW compiler.
THANKS.............
