The biggest advantage is that this simulator will work perfectly on any Windows OS (XP, Vista and 7) irrespective of 32 bit/ 64 bit versions. You just need to download this simulator and install it as per guidelines. Out of the many tricks available, I found this as the most easy way to setup Turbo C compiler for your Windows operating system. Download and Install -Turbo C/C++ Simulator
But no worries! There are many tricks/tweaks which can make the compiler work in any versions of Windows – may it be 7/Vista – 32 bit/64 bit – it doesn’t matter. Don’t expect compiler to work with direct installation as you might have already done in Windows Xp. You can’t easily run a 16 bit compiler in a 32 bit/64 bit operating system. Now the problem is Windows 7 comes in 32 bit and 64 bit versions only.
The primary reason behind this shift in usage of operating systems is “stability”! Windows XP is an unstable operating system where as Windows 7 is much better and can be considered as a stable operating system (when used for personal computing requirements). Nowadays most people uses latest versions of Windows like Vista and Windows 7.
You may all know that Turbo C/C++ is a 16 bit compiler which was originally developed for Windows versions up to XP. There are many compilers available for C language for different platforms, of which Turbo C is the one used commonly for Windows operating systems.
