It can also run in both windowed and full-screen mode. More than allowing you to launch it on modern computers, the app comes built with enhanced stability thanks to the emulation of the old DOS environment.

It also incorporates a few project samples. Additionally, it comes with code inspection, watches, and tracing features. As mentioned, it carries all the features and toolsets of the original Borland app, including a compiler, a debugger, the DOS shell, and breakpoints. Turbo C++ is one of the most reliable alternatives to manually attempting to solve Turbo C++'s incompatibility issues with modern Windows computers. Luckily, there are a few workarounds that you can use. Unfortunately, the program's compatibility with the latest Windows versions is debatable. Software development tools may have surpassed them over the years, but still the Borland app has its uses today. I am disappointed to see John Haller, who otherwise has a reputation for high-quality reliable software, promoting this fundamentally flawed program.The developer Borland achieved immense success with the release of Turbo and Borland C++, which were, at the time, the most reliable IDE platforms for amateur and professional programmers. Goodbye to Notepad++ I never want to touch it again.īy the way, Notepad++ Portable has the the same major bug. Well, it's too much user effort for me to tolerate this horribly defective program. And what reason does he give for not fixing it? He says it's too much "coding effort". Scroll to the "Followups" section at the bottom of that formal bug-report page, and you will witness Don Ho blatantly refusing to fix this major bug. Here is a link to a bug report about it (on an official Notepad++ web site): There is a work-around for this bug, but the work-around is a time-consuming hassle that you must remember to do (and probably won't remember to do) every time you save a new document. So, for example, if you create a new plain-text document, it is saved without the ".txt" extension, and therefore it is saved by Windows as an unknown file type, which Windows will not know how to handle when you try to open it. The bug causes the following problem: when saving a new document, your new document is saved without any extension. I absolutely vote thumbs-down on Notepad++ because it has a major bug that the program's author, Don Ho, refuses to fix.
