Turbo C++

I've recently junked my windows PC. Along with all the other applications that were junked was Turbo C++ that my daughter needed for her school work. Is there a Turbo C++ version for Mac? Or is there a similar C++ editor that I can use on the Mac? The school's requirement is Turbo C++ and I would hate to have to go back to Windows just for this defunct program.

Imac, Mac OS X (10.6.4), 2.66 GHz Intel core 2 duo, 2GB RAM

Because I'm not a programmer and not familiar with the different version of C++ I can't give you much information. If you find this application is only available for MS Windows simply set up and run Boot Camp on the iMac. If you aren't familiar with Boot Camp here is a link that explains it:

Click the Windows on a Mac link.

Good luck!

The Closest you will probably find is XCode, but if you are developing for Windows, that would be pointless.

it might be easier to run the software under Parallels (emulation) or BootCamp, or if it's a really old version, dosbox.

I was hoping for a simpler solution. Maybe a version of Turbo C++ for Mac. Or something that looks and feels like Turbo C++ for Mac.
