Minimum Requirements
quill
The FTC is supported for latest REALbasic release and one release back. It will work on earlier releases back to 2008R2, but there is no guarantee going forward as new language features are added to REALbasic and are utilized in the FTC. The FTC is officially supported for OS X and Windows. The FTC compiles and runs under Linux but has not been fully regression tested.

The FTC relies on the Einhugur GraphicsFormats plugin or the MBS plugins for doing picture conversions and you will need to purchase one of these plugins.
