UPDATE: If you get the error Linker Error: Unable to open include file ‘C0S.OBJ’ while running your c program (or c++), please try copying the C0S.OBJ from the OBJ folder into the main folder of the compiler. The downloadable c/c++ compiler archive has been updated with this fix.
Note: The procedures on this post were tested on a computer running Windows XP and another which is running Windows 7 (both 32-bit and 64-bit). PLEASE make sure you follow the instructions carefully and copy the sample C program codes correctly before saying that what you downloaded doesn’t work. Thanks, and good luck. 
Note for users of Windows 7 64-bit: You need to use DOSBox to emulate a 32-bit system because this compiler is not compatible with 64-bit. Install DOSBox, and mount your C:\ drive, or whichever drive you installed Turbo C in.
The download page for Turbo C++ 3.0 was one of the most popular pages in poochycat.com, my previous domain which had already expired.
(The rest of this post must be viewed to find the download links and installation instructions)
The Download Link:
Turbo C++ Compiler version 3.0 (On MediaFire) (139919)That’s the C program compiler I used to use during my early college terms.
Installation Instructions
Last Updated: November 2011
- Download the archive from the link(s) provided somewhere at the top of this post.
- Unzip it and place the contents of the archive into a folder inside your Drive C. (e.g., C:\tcpp3)
- Please observe:
The above is the TC.EXE file that you MUST run.
The above is the TC Shortcut file, don’t use it.The compiler is the file named TC.EXE. Donβt confuse it with the TC shortcut! Simply double click on that and the compiler will run.
- Just before you type your C program code, please make sure you have the correct path for the INCLUDE Directory and LIBRARY Directory. You can check by clicking on Options -> Directoriesβ¦
- The path for the INCLUDE Directory must be C:\YourFolder\INCLUDE. For example, C:\tcpp3\INCLUDE. The file you downloaded uses tcpp3 as folder name, which is why I’m using the same folder name in my example. Please make sure you specify the correct path to the INCLUDE folder, this is crucial, or else it you would get errors. The INCLUDE folder should directly under tcpp3 folder, and tcpp3 folder is directly under your drive C folder.
- And the path for the LIBRARY Directory must be C:\YourFolder\LIB, for example C:\tcpp3\LIB. Again, check if you have the correct path to the LIB folder.
- Remember to change the YourFolder into the name of the folder you are using for your Turbo C++.
- You can now test a C program code. First, select File from the menu and choose new. Copy the sample codes at the end of this blog entry.
- After copying the codes, select Run from the menu, and choose Run. There should be an output of Hello World on the screen. The codes worked for me, please copy them carefully.
Hello World sample code for testing in C language
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
int main(){
clrscr();
printf("Hello world!");
getch();
return 0;
}
Hello World sample code for testing in C++ language
#include
main(){
cout << "Hello World!";
return 0;
}

Hi there,
I ran the tc.exe in XP SP3 and the compiler window is extremely small. How do I scale the compiler to fit my 1920×1200 screen? I don’t want to use dos box. thank you very much

I’m a C++ beginner and try to run the following code copied from downloaded from Google, but just errors. Can someone help me to figure out?
/* my second program in C++
with more comments */
#include
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
cout << "Hello World! "; // prints Hello
World!
cout << "I'm a C++ program"; // prints I'm a
C++ program
return 0;
}
Hot debate. What do you think?

remove this line of code “using namespace std;”
and the “#imclude” should be #include stdio.h.

You should write this:-
#include
#include
using namespace std;
void main ()
{
cout << "Hello World! "; // prints Hello
World!
cout << "I'm a C++ program"; // prints I'm a
C++ program
getch();
}
if you use int main();
then for geting output you should go to the "windows" option which is in top white line.

depending on your compiler…..
#include
#int main()
{
int N1, N2;
cout <> N1;
cout <> N2;
if (N1>N2)
cout << "\nThe higher number is: ";
cout << N1;
if (N1<N2)
cout << "\nThe higher number is: ";
cout << N2;
if (N1==N2)
cout << "\nThe two numbers are equal";
return o;
}
Note: It can be much more simplified, you can do that on your own. cheers

when i run the program with the compiler and view the output, nothing shows! I previously used this compiler on a windows xp system and it worked just fine. I’m currently using a windows 7 system, does this new development have anything to do with this change? Please help.
