Error: no compiler tool is associated with the file extension (*.h)

Hi

I have a code that compiles using
Turbo C++ for DOS version 1.01 from
http://community.borland.com/article...,21751,00.html

What is that I need to do so that it cmpiles on Visual Studio as well?

When I tried it & it needed some *.h files. I copied them (from the
Turbo C environment) and put it in there - now it says
"no compiler tool is associated with the file extension"

I am not happy with the Turbo C++ for DOS version 1.01.

That is why I am trying it on Visual Studio - could someone offer help
so that I can make it to work?

Thanks

Turbo C++ 1.01 is like 15 years old, if you need help with VS then why
not ask your question in one of their newsgroups?
microsoft.publi c.vstudio.gener al (thats one of many)
Or did you have a C++ question?

In general, copying missing implementation headers won't help. That's
because the library support isn't there either. You're likely talking
about stuff like conio.h, which is completely implementation-specific.
Most of the time it's used in fairly trivial ways and can be eliminated.

The best thing to do is get a decent modern text and learn ISO standard
C++ as your base. That will work on almost any recent implementation.
See the newsgroup FAQ for some guidelines.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
