C Header Files

Hi,

When compiling C programs I face problems because of certain Header files which are not included in my Turbo C folder. For example, Windows.h is not there.

Here's the list of the header files installed in my TC folder:

-----------------------------------------------
Sr. No. TC Header Files
-----------------------------------------------
1 C:\TC\INCLUDE\ALLOC.H
2 C:\TC\INCLUDE\ASSERT.H
3 C:\TC\INCLUDE\BIOS.H
4 C:\TC\INCLUDE\CONIO.H
5 C:\TC\INCLUDE\CTYPE.H
6 C:\TC\INCLUDE\DIR.H
7 C:\TC\INCLUDE\DOS.H
8 C:\TC\INCLUDE\ERRNO.H
9 C:\TC\INCLUDE\FCNTL.H
10 C:\TC\INCLUDE\FLOAT.H
11 C:\TC\INCLUDE\GRAPHICS.H
12 C:\TC\INCLUDE\IO.H
13 C:\TC\INCLUDE\LIMITS.H
14 C:\TC\INCLUDE\MATH.H
15 C:\TC\INCLUDE\MEM.H
16 C:\TC\INCLUDE\PROCESS.H
17 C:\TC\INCLUDE\SETJMP.H
18 C:\TC\INCLUDE\SHARE.H
19 C:\TC\INCLUDE\SIGNAL.H
20 C:\TC\INCLUDE\STDARG.H
21 C:\TC\INCLUDE\STDDEF.H
22 C:\TC\INCLUDE\STDIO.H
23 C:\TC\INCLUDE\STDLIB.H
24 C:\TC\INCLUDE\STRING.H
25 C:\TC\INCLUDE\TIME.H
26 C:\TC\INCLUDE\VALUES.H
27 C:\TC\INCLUDE\createF.h

---------------------------------
C:\TC\INCLUDE\SYS\
---------------------------------

28 C:\TC\INCLUDE\SYS\STAT.H
29 C:\TC\INCLUDE\SYS\TIMEB.H
30 C:\TC\INCLUDE\SYS\TYPES.H
-----------------------------------------------

Can anybody tell me where can I get all the header files (for free download) or can anybody share them with me?

Thanks in advance!

Looks like you are ready to go to town programming on DOS!!

The header file windows.h and the ones that it includes in itself are available in compilers that actually support WINDOWS - which Turbo C doesn't.

You may want to get a compiler that is a bit newer than 15 years old - perhaps a Free Download of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition, for example - but it may shock your system, perhaps?

Writing C Programs under VC++ IDE

Hi Mats,

I have got MS VS Express 2005 & 2008 Edtions and installing any of them won't shock my system because I keep it updated to meet my requirements.

Well, is it safe to write C programs using Visual C++ (VS Express Edition 2005 / 2008)?

Thanks!

Yes, unless you do it in the middle of the street, at night, with your laptop.

Dino, you haven't been taking your anti-sarcasm medication - which reminds me, I need mine soon!

Yes, it's fine - just make the filenames end with .c instead of .cpp, and it will be compiled as C rather than C++.

MS Visual Studio Express 2008 Edition for Writing C Programs

Thanks Mats!

I am at my company office right now. But when I go back to my room, I am going to install MS Visual Studio Express 2008 Edition!

I have one more question which I am going to write in a different post.

Thanks again!

Dev.

Yeah. Here's the way I see it.

On some forums, you just gets answers.

Other forums, you just get sarcasm.

Here, one will most always get a quick answer, and the payment is they have to be prepared for a little sarcasm, lest it gets too boring otherwise.

I mean, if there was no sarcasm, I wouldn't have a signature.

Hi Dino,

I have got a sense of humour so even sarcasm makes a great sense to me! ;)

Thanks a lot to you guys! I hope I will find solutions of my problems that I may encounter when writing programs in C and C++.

Have a great time!

Dev.
