Turbo C is a Borland Integrated Development Environment and compiler for the C programming language.

Version history

• version 1.0, in 1987 - It offered the first integrated edit-compile-run development environment for C on IBM PCs, borrowed from Borland's existing Turbo Pascal compiler. It ran in 384KB of memory. It allowed inline assembly, supported all memory models, and offered optimisations for speed, size, constant folding, and jump elimination.

• Version 1.5 - It was shipped on five 360 KB diskettes of uncompressed files, and came with sample C programs, including a stripped down spreadsheet called mcalc.

• Version 2.0 - Featured Turbo Debugger, Turbo Assembler, and an extensive graphics library. This version of Turbo C was released for the Atari ST, but distributed in Germany only.

Turbo C has been largely supplanted by Turbo C++, introduced May 1990, for both DOS and Windows and later by Borland C++.
