----------------------------------- atrain Tue Jan 25, 2005 11:31 pm Open source turing clone ----------------------------------- Hello, i was wondering if anyone here knows of a open source turing clone. I can run turing 4.0 on wine, but the new 4.05 barly installes, and wont run any programs without crashing... If anyone here has any experience with turing and linux, please post it here. Also, if someone has the 4.0.4patch file, i might try that. I dont want the installer, because the new installers are very buggy. ----------------------------------- wtd Wed Jan 26, 2005 12:49 am Re: Open source turing clone ----------------------------------- Hello, i was wondering if anyone here knows of a open source turing clone.

There aren't any open-source clones, but there are plenty of other languages you could try. ----------------------------------- Trojan Man Wed Jan 26, 2005 3:12 am ----------------------------------- Turing's made by Holt soft, they sell it and make money with it. I doubt they'd wanna give the source for free because of that. I heard something about Mac version of Turing, so I'm pretty sure there's a version for linux as well. You might wanna try finding that... ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Jan 26, 2005 10:35 am ----------------------------------- well Holtsoft's site says: Microsoft Windows Turing 4.0.3 (See note below) Latest patch: 4.0.4d Apple Macintosh OOT for Macintosh 1.5.1 well... the latest version of Turing for windows is 4.0.5 and who knows what's going on with Macs :roll: ether way - I'm with wtd here : there are plenty of other (better) programming languages out there ----------------------------------- ste_louis26 Wed Jan 26, 2005 11:52 am ----------------------------------- I think that Mac has 4.0.5 also out because a friend uses it ----------------------------------- Drakain Zeil Wed Jan 26, 2005 12:46 pm ----------------------------------- I'm still looking for a linux version... and my WINE won't run it... ----------------------------------- wtd Wed Jan 26, 2005 2:48 pm ----------------------------------- ether way - I'm with wtd here : there are plenty of other (better) programming languages out there And most of them have free implementations. http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=7146 ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Jan 26, 2005 3:41 pm ----------------------------------- And most of them have free implementations. http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=7146 and oftentimes free means better as they are probably open sourced and have a community of developers improving on it. A number of senior members here tried to persuade Holtsoft into letting us improve the language (turing) in a number of ways, but they just laughed :? go figure ----------------------------------- atrain Wed Jan 26, 2005 9:37 pm ----------------------------------- my wine wont run the new version either.... i used crossover office to install it, because it said something abotu not enough ram :? so it ran, but if i run anything wine crashes. I cant run it through crosover office then i have to use wine to run it. ----------------------------------- atrain Thu Jan 27, 2005 7:00 pm ----------------------------------- they do have a linux version, but i dont have it on my cd.... I will ask my computer teacher to order me a copy, as the school already pays for a licene for all the students...
