Hi I have the whole directory of turbo C...The way it works is by copying it to a directory in c and then add a path statement
like path + c:\borlandc in the autoexec .bat
but I cant see any thing in the autoexec.bat and when I add it the autoexec disappear

Please clarify. Are you saying that the autoexec.bat is empty or that the filename does not show in your folder listing. Is windows set to hide hidden or system files from operator view? How are you adding the line path + c:\borlandc? etc....Please respond with more specific information.

Hmm this post seems familiar :P

TC or BC?

Don't worry about that path junk, just include the full path in your headers and use the command line compiler

#include "c:\borlandc\iostream.h"

tcc -options
bcc -options
tlink options if you compile only

In the TC3 dos compiler there is an "options" pop down menu that has "directories" add your paths there and save the configuration under the same "options" pop down menu.

The BCC 5.5 freeware command line compiler has a set of instructions for installing it console mode.

autoexec.bat

path=c:\;c:\borlandc\bin;c:\borlandc\include;c:\borlandc\lib

Increase the environment size if you run out of room
