Abstract
The FESTER system uses an amalgamation of sections of BCPL, REDUCE and FORTRAN for the region definition, construction of minimisation principle and trial functions, and eventual solution. They produce a harmonious whole which can solve a class of partial differential equations with a minimum of assistance.
