Default Heads Up for anyone still using Demon's news service

I've tried all the other email and news programmes but can't seem to
wean myself off Turnpike. Anybody else still clinging to Turnpike ?



Indeed. I'm using it under the 32-bit version of Windows 7 (it won't
run under 64-bit versions of Windows). I'm not sure whether your v6.05
would work, though. I think you may need the final version, which is
6.07. If anyone is interested in running TP under 32-bit Windows 7 or 8
(or, as you are doing, running it on a VM under a 64-bit version of
Windows), you can ask for advice on demon.ip.support.turnpike, which is
still going strong. (And the demise of Demon's own news server -
actually it was outsourced to an outfit called Highwinds in recent
years - shouldn't affect that.)


Hi John

Thanks for responding, I didn't realise Demon turnpike support newsgroup
was still going. Any idea from where I can download Turnpike 6.07 please
?

I'm determined to cling onto TP, no matter what !! Perhaps I should go
back to Win 95.
