PFAU - Windows 95 recording program
The Post Facto Audio Recorder is a background application that records audio in a circular buffer. Clicking the PFAU icon in the system tray saves the last several minutes or audio to a WAV file on disk. Useful for getting an "instant reply" or permanent record of things you hear on TV. All distribution is handled by Norbert Haley.
