I.   INTRODUCTION

     This program is a finger client for Microsoft Windows 95.  This
     program is intended to complement the group of command line
     tcp/ip clients supplied with Windows 95.  A GUI application will
     be available soon, see the above URL.

     Simply type 'finger username@hostname' or 'finger @hostname' from
     MS-DOS, while connected to the internet or other tcp/ip network
     via winsock.  This program supports forwarding, so you may have
     more than one @hostname i.e. 'finger psalerno@li.net@eve.albany.edu'
     'finger /?' will display some usage information and my URL.

     I began this project as a result of an assigment given in one of
     the Computer Science classes I am enrolled in this semester at
     the University of Albany.  I had written a finger client for
     UNIX System V and then decided that I wanted to port it to the
     Win95 console.  I simply downloaded the winsock helpfile from
     http://www.sockets.com and dug in.  The program was developed
     using a 100Mhz Intel Pentium machine with 16 megabytes of ram.
     For tcp/ip connectivity, I used a SLIP connection via modem.
     The program was compiled using Borland C++ 4.51.  


II.  INSTALLATION

     You have already unzipped the zipfile, so now just put the file
     finger.exe somewhere in your path such as c:\windows.  Finger.exe
     is the only file you need.  This program will only work with 
     Microsoft Windows 95.
