I am useing v4.0.1p and when i go to "generate stand-alone program" it comes up with a mesage saying it is unavailable in this version. Is there any other way to make a stand-alone program?

hehe, yeah that's one of the ways you can tell that turing is stupid.

well atleast Mazer can bitch at Holt ligitemaly Laughing

hackman - go to www.holtsoft.com and download a turing patch - v4.0.4[?]. Its basically the whole Turing -minus- GUI and help files. It will replace Turing.exe it finds in the folder and you'll have a brand new compiler that actually compiles.

Holt is soo dumb though - they released a new version of IDE that's not even bundled with a compiler Rolling Eyes furthermore they were selling it for full price. Everybody had to wait ~half a year before being able to compile anything.

well I told you - their patch is the whole damn compiler. Like heck, you can write a better security in turing then holt uses to enforce purchasing their software.

You can just rename a text file into Turing.exe in the folder and its going to install over it. (It might check for some other files too though)

ya dan tryed that trick out but the problem is even if you replace all the files it checks with .txt, it will not copy the turing lib in to it so you got turing with no comands Confused
