DOSBOX? C Compiler? Mate I don't know what you get that from. :p
The only remote connection I can think regarding that is Dosbox can run the antiquated Turbo C/C++ Compilers.

Anyway for a C compiler. I suggest GCC. (MinGW gcc for Windows). Look at my sig. :)

Once you start it up, you will need to mount the drive with dos software in DosBox.
Do mount <drive name> <path>
so Mount C ~/dosgames should do the trick (assuming you are using linux), its pretty much the same for windows as well.
then
C:
then navigate and run the software.

DOSBox is used to run older software which are not supported in newer version of windows. If you are trying to run Turbo C++ 3.0, you will need it.
