    Isn't turbo C a few decades old? Any particular reason for using that? (Hint: Check out Visual C++ Express from Microsoft)

    lol, interesting reason... :D

    Well, run it in Dosbox or something like that, I guess.
    (or change the font and background color in VC++ to make it look more DOS'ey)
