I am looking for a copy of Turbo C 1.5 from 1987 for some historical
research I'm doing into computing from that time period.

Might be at:
http://community.borland.com/museum/
No :(
The earliest version they have is 2.x. The museum seems to have been
abandoned - a posting said 1.0 and 1.5 were "soon" to be added, but
then the museum was closed.
Turbo C 1.0 and 1.5 were different from 2.0 -- by the time 2.0 came
out, Borland was switching to its "classic" blue window that was seen
from that point onward. Version 1 had the black background in Turbo
Basic 1.1 and Turbo Prolog 2, which were contemporaries. By the time
Turbo C 2 came out, the black background products were gone - the main
Turbo C and Turbo Pascal got the "classic" look in their next releases.
For historical accuracy in screen grabs and something I'm writing, I
would like to be able to do screen captures of 1.5. I have been unable
to find it at the Borland museum, Vetusware.com, eMule, etc although
almost all other versions are available; I haven't even seen it for
sale. (Note: The museum has Turbo *C++* 1.0, which is OFTEN mislabeled
as "Turbo C 1.0". The Turbo C labelled as 1.0 at Vetusware.com is
actually 2.0.) The only hope I have is if someone has a copy...
I am also not sure if 1.5 implements the then-draft ANSI standard. I am
eager to look into the header files and see if it does. 2.0, which was
released in 1988, seems to adhere to what was still (I think) a draft
standard at the time it came out. The 1.5 release may still have been a
K&R compiler. (The 1.0 release is said to be extremely buggy - 1.5 was
a release that apparently was more a bug fix than anything else.)

Ask in alt.folklore.co mputers. They can probably help with the
research, too.

If the state of things in 1987 counts as "historical research" I don't
know what that makes many of us ...

Anything in the past is historical research :) I'm waiting until I
finish this to start on future research :) This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I am taking advanced C++ at college and we use Borland Turbo C++ 4.5 compiler.
How different is Turbo C++ from the standard C++?
I know Borland used to call their versions of C++ and Pascal Turbo,
but that was a long time ago; even the 4.52 compiler is old.
This is a requirement for the 4 year BS degree in comp sci,
which is a shame as I feel the students shouldnt be taught
on old crap.
Is it very important to learn C++ on the newest...

Dear colleagues,
for one project, I need to link Turbo (or Borland) Pascal with (Turbo)
C code. I would strongly like to avoid rewriting (my) C routines to
Pascal (other part of project is under Unix [yes, I know about gpc and
fpc...), and my clients are medicine doctors, who reject to program in
other lang. than Pascal.

Hello.
Is there an official website to obtain Turbo C 1.0?
I know that I can download Turbo C 2.0 from Borland,
but I want a smaller version, because I expect that older is smaller.
I want smaller one because I want to put the compiler to 1 floppy disk
with some other marginal space in it.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
