Turing Upgrade
-----------------------------------
I have an older vesion of turing - and when I go to the Holt Software website, the link seems to be broken.  How and where can I get an updated version of turing?

There are some updates and upgrades [url=http://holtsoft.com/turing/support/#turing4patches]here at the official website.

The link to it seems to be broken (vers 4.0 > 4.1), I don't know if it just my comp or the site.

If someone can get the link to work, please email it to me at:

Yes, the links have been broken for some time.

Since the latest patch was actually a full install, "[url=http://compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=7141]No. We can't tell you where to download Turing." applies.

Oh, you're right, it is broken! I never used it so I didn't know. I didn't know it was a full install either. No wonder they removed it!


Well, why do you need 4.0.3?
Most of the new commands can be easily recreated or worked around roughly. Which commands are you looking for?

Is there a way to do Pic.Fade in 4.0?

There is Pic.Transparent or something like that, if that's what your looking for.

Yes, that is what I'm looking for, but I checked under the help menu and I couldn't find anything of the sort (or related).  I have version 4.0.3

Pic.SetTransparentColour (picID : int, colour : int)
I think this works for .bmp's. Try it out. It is an undocumented, unlisted command in my version (4.0.1), but I think it has been put in the Help file since. I'm not sure if it does the same thing as Pic.Fade (because I don't have 4.1), so if you could tell me what Pic.Fade does that would be good.

Pic.Fade simply fades a picture in and out, it doesn't have much to do with transparency.

If that is what you are looking for, then a simple search for "fading picture" in the Turing section should yeild helpful code.

Ooooh! Never mind then.

I assumed that both of you were talking about Pic.SetTransparentColour, lol!


Anyways, "fading picture" yields nothing for me, so I hope it works in 4.0.3!
