To compile Borland

Turbo C

++ programs from the

DOS

command

line (using the “large” memory model), execute the following:

tcc -ml <

path...

program.C

> <

path...

\tchhpib.lib>

For example:

tcc -ml b:\arb_wave.c c:\tc\lib\tchhpib.lib

Change the “

-ml

” parameter to the appropriate setting when

compiling in the smaller memory models (see your C Language
manual for more information).

Once compiled and linked, an executable file (.

EXE

) and object file

OBJ

) are created in the current directory. Run the program by

typing the file name with the .

EXE

extension.
