I am sorry if this has been asked before but I am fairly new to the group. I have heard a lot about the FST compiler and I would like to know where I can obtain it in the US. Preferable would be a shareware company address or anonymous ftp. (I would like to order the disks from a company rather than pay a high phone bill.) The system I have is a 286, 16Mhz, with DOS 3.31 if that makes a lot of difference.

[billboard-style .sig deleted... :-) ] As a long-time user of the FST compiler, I was rather dismayed to find that the FST BBS machine no longer seems to answer the phone, but I haven't tried recently, nor have I attempted to write to Roger Carvalho (Mr. FST) to see what's up. Anyway... the most recent address I have is: Fitted Software Tools P.O. Box 867403 Plano, TX 75086 the BBS number was: (214) 517-4629 There was also a BIX conference for FST, but I don't know the fate of that, either. If you try to contact Roger at the above address and get no response, then there are a couple of BBS's here in Tucson that carry the compiler. One of these is Bigfoot (don't ask me...I don't name 'em...) at: (602) 886-7943. Unfortunately, they do require validation. I also seem to recall seeing it on JDR Microdevices BBS at (408) 559-0253, but I don't know if it's version 2.0 or later (or even if I actually saw it there... so much software, so little time..). If you have a unique situation that prevents you from obtaining the compiler through 'normal' means, e-mail me and I'll see about arranging to set you up with the shareware distribution kit (sorry, I can't let the library sources out, that's what the reg. buys). The compiler only runs on PeeCee's, it doesn't know about 386 flavor processors, and, no, I don't have the sources to the compiler proper (I wish I did, God knows I bugged Roger about it enough...). As an alternative, if someone would be good enough to e-mail me with details on posting etiquette for alt.sources, it might be easier just to post the whole thing for everyone to share. -- | John M.

Well, if you have a 2400 BPS modem, they can be downloaded from anywhere in the USA for about $5 if you do the downloading at night or on weekends. That's half what it costs you from Public Brand Software (PO Box 51315, Indianapolis, IN 46251 - ask for ML25.0 which is $5 plus $5 for "shipping and handling", or you can call 1-800-426-3475 and charge it.) -- uucp: uunet!m2xenix!puddle!226!20.15!Jon.Guthrie Internet: Jon.Guthrie@p15.f20.n226.z1.fidonet.org
