Running Graphics-C in windows 7 or Vista

DOSBOX VIEW


I have seen many people struggling over this so just thought to write a small post over this. Most of the SE students are working with the C-graphics and must be finding problem because of the operating system they are using.
One of the two ways is(that i know):
1. Install Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 which is free of cost and plant MS XP in that. Dos mode works fine in XP.
2. I feel this one is better than the 1st one
Download a freeware Dos-box from here .
It's a emulator for dos ....provide a 16bit envoirment. Install the dos-box and open it.
You have to write following lines whenever you start the dos-box which opens just like a normal app.
-- Mount the drive in which you have turbo-C
For example i have turbo-C complier at location C:\tc\bin

so i write
mount c c:\
c:
cd tc
cd bin
tc
Have attached a pic of the same at top.


and you are done with it.
Use the Compiler as you use on a 16-bit machine.
