1. turnpike

   A turnpike is a broad, generally toll-funded highway or road for high-speed traffic. This term is often used in the United States and refers to highways that charge a fee, or toll, for access. The fees collected are often used for maintenance, improvements, and infrastructure development. In historical context, the term originated from barriers or gates placed across roads to prevent passage until a toll had been paid.

1. Turnpike

   Turnpike is a British-developed software suite for Microsoft Windows, originally written by Chris Hall and Richard Clayton. The suite, which comprises a combined email and news client as well as a separate program for handling the Internet connection aspects, first appeared in 1995. It was acquired by Demon Internet later the same year and for a number of years was supplied to their customers free of charge. It also has a small following of non-Demon users. Amongst its early reviews were those in Everyday Practical Electronics in November, 1995 and PC Format in Spring 1997. Its advocates claim it to be more straightforward to use and less buggy than the equivalent Microsoft product. The current version is version 6.07, the first that will run successfully under Vista; further major revision is unlikely. Turnpike 6.07 can be run on the 32-bit version of Windows 7, but not on the initial release of the 64-bit version. Turnpike uses the Berkeley mailbox format for the export and import of email files. The suite consists of two principal components, Connect, which interfaces with the modem driver or LAN, and Turnpike, which controls, sorts and displays news articles and email. Prior to version 6 the Turnpike component was a stand-alone executable whilst from version 6 onwards it is implemented as a Windows Shell namespace extension. Mail filtering can be done using Unix-like regular expressions.
