Well, not necessarily, because you could use library calls that don't exist
in the Turbo C environment. But most basic things should work.

Unpack the Turbo C files into a directory somewhere. Then, in that directory
in a terminal window, run the command "dosbox". (Or depending on the version
of dosbox, you may have better luck running "dosbox .", to cause it to mount
that directory as drive C.) A window will come up, and you'll be in a
DOS-like environment in which you can run Turbo C.
