So it seems from ur post!!! Nice use for Dos, after all.
Ru sure its Dos-fdisk that many ppl r still using, and not Windows-fdisk????

BTW, fdisk is a NICE(??!!!) tool for partitioning, won't u agree !!!!!

Dear
MS Dos is still used mainly due to the fact that
the Nt based os ie: win2k,Xp etc does not allow any
applications direct and complete access to the hdd and the MBR.
Hence for running app like partion magic etc real dos mode is required.
You also cannot install a boot manager like XOSL through XP.

I think they give away old versions for free. Look their Musume Page

How very enlightening!!!! Silly me, I didn't know the 'true use' of MSDOS nowadays. Now I know finally, that for NT based OSs, I need MSDOS (?!) to have 'complete' access to hDD and MBR. So, for my XP, I don't need tools like 'diskpart' and also I guess the MS guys were fool enough to add coomands like 'fixmbr' etc, etc.

You also cannot install a boot manager like XOSL through XP.

I don't know about XOSL, but I guess that the bootmanager installed on my XP partition, what is its name ? Oh, yes, VCOM System Commander, that is (I think) installed in my HDD is just an imagination of mine. Its actually not there, I think its there, but its not, its because of The Matrix

Guys the best C++ IDE and complier around is of Dev CPP. Its IDE allows you to use write in 3-4 programming languages like C, C++, GTK etc. I agree we can write C in any C++ program. Then its complier is GCC the best one. Even NASA people are using it!

Re: need turbo c++ 3.0 IDE

Re: need turbo c++ 3.0 IDE

Quite right...probably the simplest solution.
TurboC++ is a product of Borland, so better check their site. AFAIK, now Borland has discontinued TurboC++ and offers only the command line compiler for C++.
actually, there r two types--DOS IDE and WINdows IDE...i think u might find the DOS one,but windows it not available at all.

PS: i dont understand why most of colleges and schools stick to Turbo even after its no longer available.

Re: need turbo c++ 3.0 IDE

@nix,
if u want an interface similar to Turbo C++ IDE, u can download a free version of it labelled Turbo C++ Lite. I use it along with Bloodshed.

Version 3.0 is discontinued by Borland. But it's easy to find it. Just google for "tc30.exe".
