Command-line and IDE C compilers: There are two types of C compilers, each of which has advantages and disadvantages: (i) Command-line C compilers and (ii) IDE or Windows C compilers To compile and run a C program using a command-line C compiler, you have to go through the following steps: (i) Write the C program (call it ``myfile.c'') in a text editor or word processor (for example, the simple ``Hello'' program below), (ii) Save it as a file on your computer's hard disk, (iii) ``Compile it'' to a computer-executable program by entering a compile command at a command prompt, for example for the following C compiler programs: gcc -Wall -o myfile myfile.c (using the GNU C compiler, UNIX or Microsoft Windows) cl myfile.c (Microsoft Visual C++ command-line compiler) bcc32 myfile.c (Borland C/C++ compiler, Microsoft Windows) followed by the ``Enter'' key, and finally (iv) Run the program by entering myfile at a command prompt, again followed by ``Enter''. If you want to save the output of ``myfile'' as a text file ``myfile.txt'', enter instead myfile > myfile.txt
TCC source.c
or BCC source.c
or something else, depending on your compiler.
Compiler-dependent. For TurboC it's TCC source.c
If your program is caller foobar.exe, then at command prompt enter "FOOBAR":
C:\> FOOBAR
Yes.
A Casio FX-88OP is a scientific calculator. To program this, simply run the program in the true MS-DOS mode. Do not use an MS-DOS prompt.
Compile it, link it to an executable, then just enter its name and it starts running.
Access the hardware directly: possible in DOS, not possible in Windows.
INT 86 Int86() is a C function that allows to call interrupts in the program. prototype in dos.h In and out register must be type of REGS. REGS is a built in UNION declaration in C. It is defined in the header file <DOS.h>
Yes.
any book you read then in the PC excute the prog.then slowly we can handle the c. langague
Once the application is compiled, there is no need for an IDE.
#include <stdlib.h> int main() { system("dir"); return 0; }
That program might not support MS-DOS..

OS-dependent. For DOS use functions kbhit and getch from conio.h
Yes, if it is a DOS program.
1. How much memory is found in the DOS transient program area
If you are going to program in turbo c (for DOS) you might be better using DJGPP. Google DJGPP for downloading and a whole host of good info.
It's just a nasty trick to prevent the DOS-shell-window from closing when the program terminates. It's strictly for homeworks/school-projects, do not do it in real programs.
It can't be run in DOS mode because it relies on Windows-specific APIs. DOS mode is running the program in either DOS, or in a DOS box under Windows. Basically, it is saying that it can't run on DOS because it is not a DOS program.
