This site hosts both the FBtoC Project and the FutureBasic Freeware downloads.
On 1 January 2008, Staz Software announced FutureBasic as freeware. Downloads and 
their executables are freeware, but the source code and right to distribute are reserved to 
the respective authors (the FBtoC team and Staz Software).

FBtoC creates Mac OS X universal applications (Mach-O executables) from FutureBasic 
projects/source - see FBtoC documentation for more information.
