I'm in this introductory C++ course at college. We're using Turbo C++ (the old DOS version) to write and compile our assignments. I was wondering if there's a way to make is so I can write a C++ assignment on my Mac pretty much exactly the way I would on the PCs in the lab, able to build and test and debug from my laptop, only having to change things such as file paths and whatever else of the OS specific nature before handing in my assignment (we only have to hand in our source code and a copy of the results, printed out on paper). Below is our introductory program. I didn't write this, but I have to compile it and such, and I think this is pretty much standard for the semester of what I can expect.
Certain things I know will have to change, like the outfile.open("c:result.dat"); statement so that OS X doesn't freak out, and I'm hoping there are some kind of equivallent standard headerfiles like the one's I've included. If all else fails, maybe there's a DOS emulator out there somewhere that could somehow run Turbo C++ and somehow ... work. So if there are any ideas out there it would be very much appreciated.

/* Program Trip:
This program calculates the total cost and miles per gallon
of a vehicle, based on the miles traveled, fuel consumed,
fuel cost per gallon, and operating cost per mile.
Input: The total cost, miles traveled, total fuel consumed,
unit cost of the fuel, and operating cost per mile.
Output: The miles per gallon, total cost of the trip,
and the cost per mile. */

Miles: Total Miles Traveled
Fuel: Total gallons used

UnitOperCost: Operating cost per mile
MPG: Miles per gallon
TFeulCost: Total feul cost
TOperCost: Total operating cost
TTripCost: Total trip cost
CostPerMile: Cost per mile */
