I have just uploaded FM/2 3.17 to ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/incoming/fm2 (moving to
ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/fm2).
This release has two packages. The 3.17.1 package allow part of FM/2 to load in high
memory which has reduce the occurrence of out of resource problems for me. Also
included is a low memory version 3.17.0 for older systems or for anyone that has
issues with the high memory version. They can be installed over each other with out
uninstalling. If you get messages saying the installed file is newer than the current file
respond by overwriting all the files. (note the low memory version is slightly newer than
the high memory because of the order I built them in.
