Kim -

 I have been using FACC for about 3 weeks now. It's made BBS-PC!
tolerable! Try calling JABS at 201-563-9057, I'm running it
completely on floppies using FACC - you'd think it was from a fast
hard disk!

Here's what's written on the back cover of the FACC package:

	FACC is a dynamically managed buffer cache which speeds access
	to your floppy disk drives. Unlike AddBuffers:

		o FACC fully supports fast memory so your buffer cache
		  will not use any valuable CHIP memory and can be as
		  large as you like ;

		o FACC allows dynamic control over it's buffers. Buffers
		  can be added or subtracted at will ;

		o FACC presents a graphic display detailing cache
		  effectiveness, allowing you to tailor cache size or
		  observe disk operations as they occur ;

		o FACC's display will shrink to a small size when
		  desired, to help keep your WorkBench uncluttered.

	Note:	While FACC will be of benefit to any and all Amiga owners,
		FACC will be of greatest service to owners of Amigas with
		more than 512K.

I think that describes the package quite well. The disk is *not* copy
protected (and says so on the package!). It's available now, ask your
dealer for it or contact ASDG directly.
