I understand that the support for FTL is not much better.  One person that I
am aware of switched from FTL to TM2 because Workman & Assoc. never responded
to the problems he reported with linking in assembly language.  Besides, TM2
produces faster (although bigger) code, and for my needs, speed is everything.

Since I have a 1 MB Advent RAM disk, TM2 will leave plenty of room for other
utilities.  It will comfortably fit on a Kaypro DSDD floppy disk.
