I am using the latest FST compiler. I was attempting to write a program that 
developed random strings of characters that resembled English by using some
ocurence sampling tables from a text book. What I ended up with was a case
construct with 26 possibilities but the range f possibilities was from
1 to 10000. After ten minutes the compiler had not completed the second pass.
Can anyone tell me where to look for a possible solution?
