It surely would be great for fcron to replace dcron, since being
lightweight in size or footprint fcron is not much different from dcron
(that is, if cut off the HTML manuals).

Plus that fcron has much richer facility and configurability than dcron
as well. One could set whether to mail or not, or use a literal english
word to specify a time or date period. And, it has really GOOD manual.
