It says "unable to open ' cos.obj'"

HI....
i am new to c++ programming .
I installed dosbox0.74 and i also installed c++ compiler (borland)
I am using win8. so when I open dos and start to write any simple program , I get this error. I have checked the directories and paths. everything seems alright.
Don't use DOSBox for this... And definitely definitely DO NOT USE Borland C++ compiler for ANY REASON.

I recommend downloading from this page: http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/5#windows

This: -> codeblocks-10.05mingw-setup.exe

Other good IDEs do exist: http://www.eclipse.org/
Other good compilers exist: http://gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html are good choices.

Anyway, I'm going to be baised towards codeblocks with mingw because that's what I use myself and I have found it to be very good.

What's an IDE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_development_environment
What's a compiler: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiler

Anyway, after this, you should be ready to go!

thank you. I'll try
