Good!  I'm glad it helps.

Well, as the manpage says,

     fcunc is designed to convert dumps of FCode ROMs (see IEEE 1275 for more
     on FCode) to a textual form almost (but not quite) identical to tokenizer
     input.  It is intended to help humans trying to make sense of such code
     more than it is to produce re-tokenizable source code.

So I'm not sure to what extent I think that needs fixing.  I would also
want to read through the 1275 documentation to see whether that's a
1275 thing or a Sun thing.  (Unfortunately, the 1275 doc I have is
PostScript, not PDF, making it more difficult to get greppable text out
of it.)

Fair, entirely fair.  I'm not in a position to help you there, though.
