Yesterday's "Guardian" had an enthusiastic review of a new Turing machine
simulator by John Barwise and John Etchemendy, called "Turing's World". As
usual, the review was not very informative about what the thing actually did.

How does TW compare with the (Australian and rather more expensive) ATMS
(A Turing Machine Simulator)? I have played around with a demo version of
ATMS and was mightily impressed. Is Turing's World even better? What are
the differences between them?
