Turing's limited abilities

I know Turing is good for beginners and the weekend tinkerer, but I was just wondering when Turing was going to lift the "no gifs" thing, that was supposed to be lifted in June 2004.... are they releasing a new version or something ... has anyone heard anything about this? anyway, i dont really care that much i just realised that in june , i was expecting another version or an update ... oh well, im starting C++ soon anyway

Goodbye Turing and your limited abilities!

are you sure dan? I think it does "exist" officaly because if it doesn't our school (Waterloo Oxford) is in a lot of trouble becasue every computer has turing 4.0.5 on it Razz

oh well better for me Laughing

It is not an officeal verson, it is only a beat test for schools only.

HA! I was unaware that 4.0.5 was only a bets test ... ya learn somrthing new every day! ... ne way HackerDan : is there something in reference for tom's adress, or would you happen to have it? (Tom's email)

I think dodge was referring to Tom West's reply to your email when he said if you're gonna whine, don't expect a reply.

ohhh im plugging this one to , we can thank Me for bringing htis to turing , THe link i gave everyone was direct from Toms good old Website , we had complete legal access to it , Our school made him finish it becuase we had a Final Project that required things to be fixed , Tom and MY school Are real good Friends , BUt anywho its got a whole lot of fixes that Holtsoft was working on , But they took down the link probably because of hte amount of hits it was taking HAh , but in hte End there was meant to be Turing 5 , BUt that never showed up , Who knows when the next update will come , or wont and il have it anyway
