- 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.
