	Nope, afraid not. FTA disbanded around late November of 1991, most
either moving to a new platform (IBM, Amiga, Mac), or leaving the computer
scene altogether. Their very last finished product was NoiseTracker GS 1.0,
written and released by Olivier Goguel. 

	Olivier Goguel donated all the FTAs unfinished in-the-works software
to Joe Kohn (They included "Delta Demo", "Bouncin'Ferno", "Blue Helmet",
"Oil Landers", "Bulla", and maybe one or two that I've left out). There was
a project for a game called "Burger and Fries" to be done by Olivier and
Bill Heineman, but that seems to have gone uncompleted too. :(

	Last I heard, Olivier was working with programming projects for the
IBM. Too bad, he and the rest of the FTA had talent like no one else ever
before! :/
