Somebody ( I couldn't find it in my printout ) mentioned that FTL
only in MSDOS produced only small model programs.  There is now a large
memory model version available and it seems to work quite nicely.  I've
only had it for a couple weeks.  I've been using FTL in a Z80 machine
for some months and I'm very pleased with it.

FLASH  I found it, Jeff Wieland mentioned it.

It makes heavy use of TERMINATE AND STAY RESIDENT to integrate the compiler
and the editor.  It also holds compiled definition modules in memory, so
when you re-compile your module after the inevitable corrections, it will
compile blindingly fast.  The first time you try to compile a module, it
will take a little while, the second time it's finished before you realize
it started.  It does help that I'm using it on a network with a very good
file server.

( It does compile modules quite quickly on my Z80 system using 8 inch
drives, a ram disk would be very nice. )
