HOW TO START TURBOC++ IN THE DOSBOX AUTOMATICALLY
You can save yourself some time by having DOSBox automatically mount your folders and start TurboC++.
For DOSBox versions older then 0.73 browse into program installation folder and open the dosbox.conf file in any text editor. For version 0.73 go to Start Menu =>and click on “Configuration” =>and then “Edit Configuration“. =>Then scroll down to the very end, =>and add the lines which you want to automatically execute when DOSBox starts.
Automatically mount and start Turbo C++3.0 in DOSBox ver 0.73.
Scroll down to the very end, and add the lines.
Those commands will be executed automatically when DOSBox starts! Please note: Full screen: Alt and Enter
When you exit from the DosBox [precisely when u unmount the virtual drive where Turbo C++ 3.0 has been mounted] all the files you have saved or made changes in Turbo C++ 3.0 will be copied into the source directory(The directory which contains TC folder)
Don’t use shortcut keys to perform operations in TC because they might be a shortcut key for DOSBOX also . Eg : Ctrl+F9 will exit DOSBOX rather running the code .
