FAST users:
IMPORTANT INFORMATION about Fishery Analysis and information tools (FAST):
Replacement of FAST - In early/mid 2010, the AFS Fisheries Information and Technology Section will discontinue offering FAST for sale. In its place, we will be offering a new software package called Fishery Analysis and Modeling Simulator (FAMS). FAMS should have all of the capabilities of FAST plus additional capabilities now found in S-FAT and more. It will be fully compatible with Windows Vista and Windows 7.

Patch for FAST 2.0 and 3.0 for compatibility with Windows Vista and Windows 7:
For existing FAST users – to make FAST versions 2.0 or 3.0 compatible with Windows Vista and Windows 7, you must install a software patch that will update your Visual Basic module. To do this, go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/180071 and follow the instructions to download and install the Msvbvm50.exe file. Msvbvm50.exe is a self-extracting file that installs the latest versions of the Microsoft Visual Basic run-time files that all applications created with Visual Basic 5.0 need in order to run.
