i just write out the dos command directly. These programs are dos run, but can be run in windows, I am using Dev C++ and Borland Turbo C++. I get just a bunch of errors.

I have a program that i am writing and I want to include DOS commands in the code but when i compile it gives me an error. Do i have to have a certain header file or what. Im completely stumped. I am using DEV C++ and Borland Turbo C++. I just write out the command directly.I am on a PC running Win98. This is a dos program running in Windows. Some of the errors say stray &quot;/&quot; in program. I use the &lt;stdlib.h&gt; also.

Dos Commands in C++

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
