Hi

I have two sets of code that compiles using
Turbo C++ for DOS version 1.01 from
http://community.borland.com/article/0,1410,21751,00.html

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

First code:
When I tried one of 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?

Second code:
Another code, it compiles fine on VS6 but when I run, it asks me where
"printf.c" file is - it doesn't satisfactorily run either?

Thanks

.h files don't get compiled, they are used by the preprocessor when
compiling .cpp files.

What header files were they? Visual C++ comes with a pretty comprehensive
set.

Sounds like the program crashed and the debugger is trying to show you where
(inside printf). printf crashed because it used a bad pointer you gave it.
Use the call stack to find the line in your program that called printf --
that is where the problem lies.
