If you mean Turbo C/C++ 3.0 this is how I made it work for me (this is
umpteenth time I'm writing it here):
- TC++ 3.0 migrated to the desktop as an OS/2 application (instead of a
DOS one, which it really is, of course)
- then I changed the session to DOS window (DOS full screen is OK as well)
- finally I set the DPMI_DOS_API to ENABLED
It works flawlessly for me.
Hope this helps you.
Olli
