screen10

 

Please note:

Full screen: press [Alt] + [Enter]

When you exit from the DOSBox [precisely when you 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. E.g. [Ctrl]+[F9] will exit DOSBOX rather running the code.

 

How to use [Ctrl]+[F9] (“Run”) without closing down DOSBox

  1. press [ctrl]+[F1] while running Turbo C++ to view/change the mapper commands.
  2. click on “ShutDown”,
  3. then (click) on “del”,
  4. then (click) “add”
  5. and then press q on your keyboard. Then click “mod1″ in the lower left corner to close DOSBox with [ctrl]+[q]
  6. click on “save”

Now you can use [ctrl]+[F9] in Turbo C++ as usual and [crtl]+[q] to close DOSBox.

You can do the same with [ctrl]+[F1] (for topic search) by clicking on “mapper” and changing the command as described above.

To reset the mapping, just run the “Reset KeyMapper”-file in the DOSBox folder.
