     Question:  How close does FTL follow the Modula-2 standard?  Can it
handle generic source?  Or are there tradeoffs involved?

     How fast/large is the resultant object code?  I was not impressed with
the code that Turbo produced ( relatively slow ).

     Does FTL produce m-code, or true machine code?
