Well, I must be one of the last people using the FTL compiler for serious 
work (embedded Z80) and I would say that it _does_ have bugs and severe 
size/complexity limitations. The author was not really interested in 
selling a source license and stressed that it was written in an odd 
Pascal dialect that we probably would not have been able to grok; however 
he did suggest that he had a part-completed MS-DOS hosted cross compiler 
but we declined to fund completion of this.

Better the devil you know...
