Solution 1

Don't use Turbo C++ IDE for DOS because it is very old unless you're mentioning the Explorer editions which are not available for download. The old IDE won't work in any of the future OS. Use Visual C++ IDE or Dev C++ IDE. You can also try Eclipse or Code::Blocks.

In addition to Solution 1:

Consider also open-source Codelite, MonoDevelop, and free wxDev-C++:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codelite[^],
http://www.codelite.org/[^],
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MonoDevelop[^],
http://monodevelop.com/[^],
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WxDev-C%2B%2B[^],
http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/[^].

Compare more of the IDE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_integrated_development_environments#C.2FC.2B.2B[^].

You may want to try out more than one before you can make some decisions.

Good luck,

hi,
codeblocks[^] is a better option if you are opting for open source IDE. It supports multiple compilers and is well maintained with bug fixes etc. and is kept up-to-date. Also has helpful features like code completion and importing projects developed using other IDEs. It runs on windows 7 very well and on linux also. The website has a forum also.
If you are totally new to embedded development then you can google out for "code blocks starting with embedded development" .
There are articles on code project itself like this one[^]

hope this was helpful.
