Task 3: Towards Programming

In this part you will use TC and thus the DOS Emulation Engine to move towards programing. The purpose of this part is to familiarize yourself with the TC programming environment.

1. Start the DOS Emulation Engine by typing the command xdosemu & in a unix shell. You will see a black dos command shell which is different from a unix terminal.
2. Type d:
3. Type cd TC$\backslash$TOUR
4. Type tctour in the terminal now. You will see a new screen with says TCTOUR for the Turbo C++ Integrated Development Environment
5. Follow the steps shown on the screen & try to learn about Turbo C as much as possible. In this lab, you are expected to go through the first module named IDE Basics. If you visit this module and get stuck, your TA will help you. On the other hand, you will explore other modules at a later time.
6. To exit from dosemu, type exitemu on the dos shell (usually black in color). This command is not a Linux command. It will work only under dosemu.
