Sounds to me like the ideal solution would be to have the command line
driven interface standaloine , and then provide an (optional) Intuition
front end.

For example, "Dmaster" lets me use a intuition fromt end to zoo/arc when I
want it , Arexx can do the job as well.

Then everyone is happy.

(BTW -- Despite my remarks re: Asdg , FACII is probably the only peice of
software I have seen that takes this approach - [ I think it does anyway ..
I have only seen it at users groups] - it is my impression the the Intuition
interface "Facction" and "SatisFacction" are stand-alone.)
