I recently came across the Turing language, which appears to be an Ada derivative. Can anyone tell me if it is freely available and where one might access it (archie came up empty)? It was being used in a CS intro course at UNC-CH. Thanks. -- Paul M. Reilly Pajato Systems Group (919)847-7294 pmr@rock.concert.net -- Paul M. Reilly Pajato Systems Group

Actually, I think Turing is Fortran derived, but not sure ...
Anyway, Turing was 'created' at the University Of Toronto, where it is
the main programming language for most of the computer science courses
(courses not using it are theory and language-oriented (e.g. a C
course is offered)). As far as I know, Turing is not free (not sure
if educational institutes get it for free though). It is available
for a number of platforms (e.g. the ones I know UNIX (sparc, mips),
MSDOS). There is now an objected oriented interface, plus extensions
to the language (the extensions are available as Turing Plus).
I don't know who to email to for more info, but try asking
admin@cdf.toronto.edu, or admin@csri.toronto.edu (I think the address
is csri.toronto.edu, but you might have to look it up). Csri (Computer
Science Research Institute) are the 'creators' of Turing.
