As far as I know

That's a very old compiler and IDE. It's only useful for maintaining an old app so you would install some Virtual system (I use VirtualBox) then a compatible OS in VirtualBox and then this old compiler.

Remember that some DOS EMS and other APIs are dead now in Windows 7 and on so there isn't support for some old compilers today unless you go the virtual machine route.

If you need a c++ compiler, IDE and more, there are current choices more suitable to learning.

First you need to determine what you are doing.

If you are learning you can use any of the current free C++ systems. Visual Studio if you are writing for Windows, and GCC+editor systems for Linux, other.

The problem is not there isn't a compiler and more but there are so many to choose from. As you didn't share why you needed this, I can't give a nod in any particular direction.

If this was for school, your instructor should tell you what to use for the class.
