	My Fortran hacking boss found the problem I was having with Finger.
It seems some variables are defined differently in different modules. The
one that was causing a problem was the definition of the function 
Get_PersonalName. The functions is defined to return a 25 character, 
character string, but in the User_Info and Get_Lastname modules it was
defined to return 20 characters. Once these two were changes to 25, everything
seems fine. There are other inconsistent definitions in other modules, but
they don't seem to affect anything, YET!
