Microcomputer Applications sells a Turing machine simulator which
supports 1,000 states and a 128k tape.  It runs on a PC, XT, or AT with
512k.  Price is 39.95 for Booklet and 5 1/4" disk.  Example programs
are included.

Microcomputer Applications, P.O. Box 1583 Suisun City, Ca. 94585

Make sure you get their catalog.  It's called "John's Picks" and it's
full of book recommendations, nerd coffe cups and tee-shirts, Escher
stuff, neat software, etc.  Think of it as the computer science
equivalent of a science museum store's catalog.  "Highly recommended."
