x64-compatible version of Turing?
-----------------------------------
I run x64 at home and thus cannot install the version of Turing given to me by my professor. I was wondering, is there a version of turing compatible with Windows XP x64? Or perhaps a browser-based version?

Thanks in advance.

I doubt it. Then again, there's supposedly a linux version.

I run Turing on my Athlon64...  It shouldn't be a a problem.  What's the 'error'  you are getting?  If anything, just install it onto a non-64 bit computer, and copy over the files to your Windows 64bit edition in the Program Files x32 folder (there are only a few things that are copied over to the registry, it's won't hinder anything).

There is a mac verson but not a linux one, however peoleop have used wine to get it to run on linux. I have tested this out in the past and it works but is buggy.

Buggy indeed.  I'd get fatal errors in most programs, to the point where I gave up running Turing code in linux.

I know Holtsoft's sight doesn't list a linux version; Hikaru79 once told me that he'd been asking Holtsoft for their linux version, but, IIRC, they wanted him to buy it, despite being a student at a school that had a distribution licence.

I've done the directory copy method of installation before.  I think the only registry changes that Turing makes are file associations.

...and your "beginner mode" setting.  Hence my long awaited answer to [url=http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=9750&highlight=]this.
