It is the FST by Roger Carvalho. It can run on a 2-floppy system but is much preferable on a HD system. It can be ordered from: Fitted Software Tools P.O. Box 867403 Plano, TX 75086 or you can download it from his BBS at (214)517-4629. The registration is $29. For $49, you get the latest version plus the source to the run-time libraries. If you can ftp, it is also on our host via anonymous login: turing.ctc.contel.com in the files fstm2a.arc, fstm2b.arc, fstm2c.arc, and fstm2d.arc. Simtel20 only has the 1.3 version. The system comes with a turbo-pascal-like built-in editor, automatic file make, and a makefile generator. All-in-all, a very comfortable system. I used it in a translator construction course and it performed well. Tom. Thomas F. Reid, Ph. D.
