Turing Excecutables

Is there any way I can read the Turing program when it is turned into an excecutable? I have Resource Hacker, would that do it? Or what will I need?

Turing is actually first interpreted into C++ and then compiled as such (not directly). So even if you reverse engineer the executable, you're not going to get to the Turing sytax.

Ok, so that means "C++ > Turing > Syntax". Cool. Is C++ interpreted from a different language?

no, C++ is compiled

Hmm, Holtsoft seems to have some really crappy encryption from viewing the C++ code on resource hackers / Ollydbg, but I think it could be broken easily with the new ollydbg version and some x86 knowledge... apparently my assembly sucks -_-

Eh? Encryption? From viewing the C++ code? In a compiled Turing executable there is no "C++ code". At best, yes, you could use something like Ollydbg to view the assembly code for it, but I doubt that's going to help the common Turing programmer to get the exact original Turing code, or even the equivalent C++ code.
