Borland Turbo C makefiles define the files and build steps required for a specific project. They help the environment determine which source files to compile and how to produce the project output.
The file is normally used together with the project's C source, header, and other build files. Turbo C is legacy software, so this makefile format is rarely used in current development, although an existing file may still be useful when maintaining an old project on Microsoft Windows.
On Microsoft Windows, open the .turboc3 file with Borland Turbo C or its associated make utility to use it as a project build file. A plain-text editor can open the file for inspection or manual editing.
A Turbo C makefile is not normally converted to another file format. Its build instructions can be read in a text editor and manually recreated in the build-system format used by a newer development environment.
