I am dedicating this release of FM/2 to the memory of my parents Ralph and Helen Young both of whom passed away earlier this year. It has been over a year since the last release. The FM/2 team has been busy with a lot of other projects. This release mostly fixes bugs.
The major change is that this version uses high memory to load much of FM/2's code, data and resources. If your version of OS/2 (Warp 4 pre about Fixpack 13 or Warp 3 pre about Fixpack 37) doesn't support high memory please contact me and I will provide a low memory version. If anyone contacts me, I will plan on both a high and low memory version (or a way to convert one to the other) for future releases.
I have uploaded FM/2 3.19 to ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/incoming/fm2 (moving to ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/fm2 ) and to hobbes
