[comp.lang.modula2] Debuggers and FST Was: Modula II

Where can I get ahold of these? I just got version 2.0 something and
really like it. I've decided that I am going to keep it and register
it. So far, I haven't had a use for a debugger, but I did with some of
my school projects.  The debugger we used on the Sun workstations are
nice. We had two different ones that could pick up almost anything. I'm
taking Vax-11 Assembly this quarter, so Im beginning to understand a lot
more of how Modula-II works. I've started writing a billing/accounts
recievable program with the FST compiler. The new version is pretty nice
with full color windows and the like, but the 64k compiler limit has
slowed me up.  By breaking the main module into just a simple MAIN with
calls to other mod/def files, I've eliminated a lot of the compiled
length, but it still compiles (with only a simele case statement and
some import statemnets) to 70+k.  I cut down a lot of the code, got it
under the 64k limit, and when I linked it it was only 32k long. I've
really been impress with it for a simple shareware program. They really
did do a nice job.
                            Thanks for the help...
