I'm working on a large programming project.  Currently we have it running as an
interactive app.  We need to convert it to a background application which will
be called from a server running MacWorkstation.

What are the issues involved in making an app "background only".  A while  ago
I read thru the MultiFinder programming guide and saw some discussion of
writing faceless apps (I'll be reading thru this and other info again, but want
to get any helpul hints from net people too).  Apart from doing nothing which
requires having a user interface, what does one need to do to write a
background only/faceless app?

Any info you can provide is much appreciated!

Robert
