This is a modified version of finger that was originally written by
Dr. Richard Garland of Columbia University, New York, NY, and then modified
by Terry Kennedy, St. Peter's College, Jersey City, NJ.

  This modified version is fully functional on OpenVMS AXP v1.5 and above.
The following are some of the things I modified.

1) Finger server
2) Finger client over tcp/ip
     I modified all the applicable .MAR files with the new .CALL_ENTRY
     statement.  And modified finger.for.
3) The shared common info to all the executable images, like personal
   names, terminal database, network database, etc. now work properly.
   I modified the proper .COM files to link everything correctly.
4) UCXTEST.COM to fortran and macro (really compile) everything without problems
   or errors.
5) KLUDGE.MAR, TERMINAL.MAR, UCXSUBS.MAR, WILD.MAR to
   use the new .CALL_ENTRY statement. (This properly declares the entry point
   to the routines.)  I didn't bother converting IDLE-MON.MAR.
6) FINGER.FOR:
     a) Modified Function Get_Location to add support for NT devices for TCP/IP
        (telnet) logins.
     b) Modified Function DECnet_Finger to allow for new error code
        SS$_IVDEVNAM which is now given under OpenVMS AXP when a call is given
        to open a decnet connect to an IP style name.
        This now allows the wildcard node algorithm to work.
     c) Modified some output fields to make the finger output more "pretty".
7) FINGMAINT.FOR to fix a compile error with a do loop.

  All the executables are there.  If you need to rebuild everything, use
FINGER_BUILD.COM - if you don't need tcp/ip support or
UCXTEST.COM - if you do need it.
  The Jnet/bitnet link stuff doesn't work, I haven't worked on it since it
isn't important here.  Also, the IDLE-MON code hasn't been converted since
I don't feel it is needed.

  If you need to know more or have any problems just contact me.
