I don't want to get too fussy about this, but the DEC compiler is free.
The Fitted Software Tools system is SHAREWARE. It is NOT free. Roger Carvalho
has done a terrific job on this system, and keeps it up to date. He deserves
the shareware fee that he asks for - somwhere in the neighborhood of $30-40.
Well worth it. Please - if you are going to use a shareware system, pay up.
(I have no connection with FST - I just think we oughta help them survive!)
