I recently installed TC 2.01v by Borland

I am running windowx XP

it had a zipped file which i unzipped and to a folder called tctemp and then clicked a file called install.exe which installed the program on C:/TC

Now when i start the program I have to go to the directory C:/TC and type TC

I started typing a a simple program and it worked fine but I ran into a few problems :

1. when I use any data type like int or float int the main function
the program gives me an error " expression syntax in main function "

2. I have been looking for a tutorail for this compiler but have been unable to find it, can anybody help me with that too

3. there were also some more instructions on the installtion which were to right click on the dos window and when a menu pops up then click properties and then type the name of file in some "....bat" somewhere in the properties menu. But when i right click on the DOS window i never get this kind of window

I need help very bad at this , I losing faith !!!!!!!

You could get a compiler that hasn't been relegated to a museum (literally; it's available for free in the Borland Museum). Try Dev-C++ or the Visual C++ Toolkit.

this may sound foolish but I am looking for just a C compiler not a C++ one
even though C code can be compiled on C++.

I saw gcc but it can be run only on UNIX but I am running windows XP
is there a C- compiler which is not that old and can be run on windows XP

Yes. Get Dev-C++ and run gcc.exe, which comes with it.
