FAC performs its search using any part of an area code, city, state, country or other string, and shows matches almost instantly. FAC also has a very powerful "fuzzy search" mode which allows you to use sound-alike, phonetic spellings. FAC uses a data file which you can modify in any way. FAC can run from the MSDOS command line or you can install it as a memory resident program (TSR). As a TSR, FAC can operate in as little as 7K of RAM using disk or expanded (EMS) memory for swapping. FAC intelligently supports 25, 43, and 50 line video (text) modes, sizing and zooming the screen appropriately.
