All right, guys... This small text will help you to
          know more about the authors of Modulae, and the "no tools"
          programming...


          1. The FTA's philosophy :

               Modulae is one of this kind of programs (just like
          Nucleus, Photonix II, Space Harrier Demo are) which has been
          developed just to say : "Look ! This can be done on the IIgs !".
          It's true that at the time we are writing this small text,
          the IIgs is slowly sinking... Most of the editors don't
          develop anymore for the IIgs...
          What a shame ! What a waste ! Of course, the IIgs has got
          several defaults (such as an only 2,8MHz speed, and an only
          64k sound-ram), but it has plenty of qualities, too, and
          we think that it's miserable to condemn it...

               The FTA philosophy is the "no tools" programming. That
          means that we avoid most of the time the use of the IIgs's
          rom...
               With the "no tools" programming, your programs can
          really fly ! (the toolbox "eats" processor time)... For those
          who use the tools : do you think that the IIgs is not slow
          enough ???
               We hate rules, so we hate tools... Winners don't use
          tools !!! (it looks like propaganda, but it's true !!!)...
               We know that there's a lot of people who are doubting,
          and who cannot understand the "no tools" philosophy : We
          would like to say to these people : "look at what can be
          done : Nucleus, Modulae, Photonix, Space Harrier are free
          tools programs... Are they unfriendly ? Are they slow ?"


          2. "Thanks and unThanks" :

               We would like to thank all the people who consider the
          IIgs not like a Mac (you know, Gs/Os, Finder and tools...),
          but like a real Apple II computer (boot, Merlin, call
          -151...)...
              We would like to thank the people that contacted us,
          just to say : "keep up the good work !" : they show us that
          we are on the right way.

               What could we say, in conclusion ??? WAKE UP !!! Show
          Apple and the editors that the IIgs is still alive, and that
          the IIgs users are the best users in the world... Try to
          program, to develop softwarez for our favorite computer, to
          show the others what the IIgs can do, and what YOU can do
          with a IIgs...
