I'm surprised to hear this.  My DOS programming environment at work IS
Turbo C++ 3.0 and demacs and they work well together.  I haven't had
problems with the two being incompatible.  You might try adjusting the
amount of extended memory each uses (-keep in demacs) to ensure that
they aren't conflicting.

Now only if I could debug Turbo C++ programs from within demacs... :-)
