No, Family Tree SuperTools (FTST) is essentially a "read-only" version of
TMG v5.0. It is a way for users of other program to read databases from
TMG (versions 4.x and earlier at the moment) and other programs directly as
well as GEDCOM, and then display them or print some charts and reports
similar to what can be done in TMG. The data in FTST cannot be manipulated
or edited as it can in TMG. Many TMG users have bought TMG with the idea
that they send it to other researchers so they can read the TMG data.

At the present time, FTST cannot work with TMG v5.x projects although that
is expected to change as soon as the TMG v5x is finalized.

There are two programs designed to supplement the features and functions of
TMG. These are the TMG Utility and Second Site. Both programs are
products of John Cardinal.
The TMG Utility is donorware while Second Site is a commercial
program. You may find more information about these from John Cardinal's
web site <http://johncardinal.com/tmg/index.htm>;.

Hope this helps -
