|
|
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. |

There aren't any open-source clones, but there are plenty of other languages you could try. |

| 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... |

well Holtsoft's site says:
Tommy W. wrote:
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 
ether way - I'm with wtd here : there are plenty of other (better) programming languages out there |

And most of them have free implementations.

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 |

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. |
