I have found wine (or equivalents) works great with turing on most *nix systems. However i had problems compiling exe's and running them threw with turnig threw wine the last time i tryed. |

I have Turing on Crossover, and I love it. There are a few glitches, like the cursor does not always move down the screen with the text, but that doesn't matter, because I always set it to "nocursor". Sound effects sometimes crash it as well. But other than that, it's perfect! |

I've played around with Darwine on OSX and Wine on Linux. When I run Turing in Darwine, it's good, but the graphics are a little slow. When I run Turing in Wine, it's fast enough, but some things don't work right like RGB values. It doesn't matter anymore though because I don't use Turing anymore. |

It's just that every once in a while I hear from students looking to work on their Turing assignments at home, on their Linux/OSX machines... so I wanted to see how well this works out. (Also, I needed some Win32 software to actually test CrossOver with) |

I use this aswell, there are more bugs then I care to list (not to mention looking but-ugly compared to all my other OS X apps) but it gets the job done! |

This may be a stupid question, but does anyone know where I can get CrossOver? I did a quick google search, but don't want to download the wrong thing. |

I'm pretty sure it's the very first result, but here's a direct link for you anyway -- http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/ |

Note that crossover is a commercial product and does cost money. I believe Wine is free though (I think) and is the basis of Crossover. I don't know how well Turing runs on it though (DarWine is the mac version of Wine). |

Wine is free and from my experiences (on Linux) Turing runs near perfect... with an exception of frequent crashes... save often EDIT: note that even if it does crash, Turing will actually save your program beforehand, just be sure to read the file path given and rename it from fileName.sav to fileName.t |

Better yet, edit your code in a native editor. Personally, I love TextMate. Though just about any code editor, in Pascal mode, should do reasonably well. |

the downside, no complimation. to my knowledge, the only (easy) way to compile your code is through the Turing Editor window |

I think that's what Tony meant. Write your code in a text editor so that Turing isn't frequently crashing and then open the code in Turing only to compile it. |
