You are confused. FRICASsys is main FriCAS process, it runs when you
run FriCAS. API pages are generated when you do 'make doc' or
'make localdoc', that is they are generated as part of build process,
and then used as fit, either put on a web site or accessed
locally. Anyway, API pages are generated by FRICASsys, but intent
is to do this once. HyperDoc generates pages on the fly allowing
more complex interaction. At least now my intent is to support
only local use: current HyperDoc protocol allows triggering
arbitrary computations from a request. Before allowing access
from the net it would have to be reworked quite a lot to limit
it only to allowed actions.
