(note this version of Borland does NOT support templates, so it will NOT work with apvector.h, apmatrix.h, apstack.h & apqueue.h)

14. Open the folder "Tc" and then the folder "Bgi". Right click on "Egavga.bgi". Choose "copy"

15. Open the folder "bin" in "Tc". Right click on an empty spot and choose "paste".

16. Go back to the Tc folder and open the bin folder. Double click "Tc.exe". You will see the message "Turbo C++ Version 1.01… OK" Press enter.
