It depends what you regard Turbo C++ to be. Originally it was a 16-bit IDE for MS-DOS programs and the last official release, Turbo C++ 4.5, was in 1994. In 2006 it was briefly revived, but was really nothing more than a stripped-down version of Borland's flagship IDE, C++Builder. There were no other versions after 2006. Embarcadero bought both Turbo C++ and C++Builder in 2008 but discontinued support for Turbo C++ in 2009.

Since Turbo C++ 4.5 was for 16-bit MS-DOS systems, there will be few graphical programs capable of running on any modern systems. Some enthusiasts still use it to this day and you can download modified versions that will run on modern operating systems such as Windows 7. However, given the fact it requires a 16-bit virtual machine its usefulness is somewhat minimal.

The 2006 version would be a better option, but as it's no longer available any programs written with it will have long since been ported to another implementation such as Embarcadero C++Builder.
