FYI
This site is no longer maintained but does carry the last version
of the program and its documentation. I will be doing something about
it for the next release of ftmap.

This application is *designed* for PBEM games and supports 
Cinematic & Vector systems.

This is suprising as the program is simple and comes with
a ready to run example. 

If running on LINUX/UNIX you will need to compile it yourself 
with an ANSI compiler. 

If running on Windows 95/98/NT it should be ready to run. I have had 
one report of the windows EXE file not working, a problem
we never resolved but probably due to win configuration.

Someone was doing a Mac port but seemed to be having problems with 
getting and ANSI compiler, since then no progress AFAIK.
