Is there any way to obtain antique versions of Borland's Turbo C++ compiler for free?

问题


I am looking for an old version of the Borland Turbo C++ compiler. However I have to get it in legal way. Has anyone heard something about discounts for such old compilers?

[EDIT]

I would like to publicize my old sources for educational purposes, however they will only compile on this old compiler. I want to show my blog readers what mistakes they should try to avoid while learning a new language.

So It would be great if anyone could download the sources and compile them on their own computer. Therefore, I hope that maybe after so many years, Borland would give these old versions to the public for free...


回答1:


Embarcadero, the company that now owns Borland's developer tools, gives away a lot of their antique software for free. Turbo Pascal 1.0, 3.02, and 5.5 are available, as are Turbo C 2.01 and Turbo C++ 1.01.

You can download the offerings here (the page is extremely slow, but it will load eventually).

And thanks to Alain Pannetier, who informs us that a slightly newer version, Turbo C++ 5.5, is also available as a free download.


But uh, if you're just looking for a freely downloadable C++ compiler, there are much better options, no time machine required. Check into GCC and/or Microsoft Visual C++ Express.

Are we talking about Pascal or C? There are freeware equivelents that I've used to compile ancient Turbo Pascal projects without a problem (FPK Pascal is one). Ah, I miss pascal. And quiche.

here are two links for sites that sell old Borland software:

P.S. Why can't you compile the code with a newer compiler? Is it the C++ language or the libraries you are using?
