Hi Feri,

great to hear that you liked FMP. Where did you get the
package from? You can find the latest version here:

http://www.cs.uu.nl/~ralf/software.html#fmp

I am (sort of) maintaining it as I use it frequently for
my publications (FMP was mainly written by Joachim Korittky,
a former student of mine).

Cheers, Ralf
