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
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
To run a program in MS-DOS, you simply need to type the name of the executable file followed by pressing the Enter key. For example, if the program is named "myprogram.exe," you would type myprogram and hit Enter. If the program is not in the current directory, you need to specify the full path, like C:\path\to\myprogram.exe.
Yes, if it is a DOS program.
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.
1. How much memory is found in the DOS transient program area
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.
