I am looking for an old version of the Borland Turbo C++ compiler. However I have to get it in legal way. Has anyone heard something about discounts for such old compilers?
[EDIT]
I would like to publicize my old sources for educational purposes, however they will only compile on this old compiler. I want to show my blog readers what mistakes they should try to avoid while learning a new language.
So It would be great if anyone could download the sources and compile them on their own computer. Therefore, I hope that maybe after so many years, Borland would give these old versions to the public for free...

Turbo C is a discontinued integrated development environment (IDE) and compiler for the C programming language from Borland. First introduced in 1987, it was noted for its integrated development environment, small size, fast compile speed, comprehensive manuals and low price.
Turbo C++ is a free, single language compiler and integrated development environment for C++.
In Simple manner C++ is a languageand and is a extension of C (which follow the oops concept) and turbo C++ IDE is a compiler which provide a integrated development environment. C is structured programming language. Turbo C refers to a specific compiler made by Borland that can be used for C programming.
Embarcadero, the company that now owns Borland's developer tools, gives away a lot of their antique software for free. Turbo Pascal 1.0, 3.02, and 5.5 are available, as are Turbo C 2.01 and Turbo C++ 1.01.
You can download the offerings here (the page is extremely slow, but it will load eventually).
And thanks to Alain Pannetier, who informs us that a slightly newer version, Turbo C++ 5.5, is also available as a free download.
But uh, if you're just looking for a freely downloadable C++ compiler, there are much better options, no time machine required. Check into GCC and/or Microsoft Visual C++ Express.
