I wonder if the source code of FastTracker 2 will be available.

Of course, I am aware of the open-source trackers (like MilkyTracker, etc), but I believe that the FT2 played a huge part of the demoscene and it should be preserved (the original source code).

Fun fact is that the creators of FastTracker (Triton) started Starbreeze, the highly successful game studio.

Also mentioned in the article is Thomas Pytel (Tran), who went on to be a lead engineer at PayPal.

Fond memories digging through the assembler code of PMODE, his free DOS extender. Learned a lot. Thanks, Thomas!

I didn't know Tran's real name until just now. I used to make everyone watch Timeless circa 1995. Now I want to call out of work and play kings quest.
