Well, I got Facc up and running last night (which is why I wasn't at
BADGE :-) )!  Great program Perry, but there is still one important
question that the documentation didn't cover at all ...

What the heck is the proper pronunciation of "Facc"?

Is it like "fact" without the "t", or "fast" without the "t", or is
it "ef-ack", or "ef-ass", or even "ef-ae-see-sea"?  Could it be
"fask" or "faxs"?  Tell us please ... enquiring minds want to know!

BTW, any plans to expand Facc's capabilities to hard disks?



On a more serious note (sigh), Bob Page makes some very good suggestions
for the "daemonization" of thinks like Facc (however it's pronounced),
popcli, etc.  All I can say is "right on, Bob"!

This is exactly what I want, and why I was critical of FastFonts always
opening a window at startup, and similarly, Facc (v1.0) always having
a window around!  Please *do* post your daemons, and lets get this stuff
rolling!

BTW, there was a set of programs called Spool (actually spool12) by Tim
Holloway that I posted here awhile back.  Might be worth looking at
for some additional ideas ... they ended up on Fish #69, I think.
