Introduction

After the summer holiday, I have no idea what to do, and was not ready to
start working on my master degree.

Finger 3.1,  by Lee Murach  (Internet: lee@nrc.com, CompuServe: 71161,651
Tel:(805) 484-2128), program that I've used very often for finding out
whether my friends on Internet logged or not, becomes an inspiration.
Since this is my first attempt to program something for Windows Sockets,
functions written by Lee Murach were very helpful, and this is the right
place to thank him a lot.

Finger 1.0 is a Windows Sockets finger client.  You may use Finger to query
for users on a remote host.  Finger 1.0 uses the asynchronous WS extensions.


Contents

The Finger 1.0 was built with the Borland C++ 3.1, using Borland OWL 1.0.

finger.prj      Finger's project file.
finger.cpp      Finger's user interface.  This module processes all user
		input, and displays query results and errors.
netwrkm.cpp     Finger's network module.  It isolates the network
		interface from the rest of the program, and uses 
		asynchronous WS calls to query the remote host.
finger.rc       Specifies resources.
finger.h        Finger's header file.
fingerrc.h      Constants used in resource script file.
finger.def      Definition file.
finger.ico      The finger icon.
readme.*        You're reading it now.
winsock.h       Header file for winsock.dll.
winsock.lib     Import library for winsock.dll.
finger.exe      The executable.


Requirements

To run Finger, you'll need access to a remote host which runs a finger
server.

Since finger dynamically links to the winsock.dll, you'll need a TCP/IP
implementation that provides a Windows Sockets interface.


Release Notes

At the beginning I have no intention to upload this, but at the end I like
what came out and decided to upload. That is the reason that the source
code is not commented very well and the documentation is also very poor.
Apologize for that.
