DESCRIPTION:

Finger-In-A-Window is an OS/2 PM program that will allow you
to store a list of frequently finger addresses and display the
finger output in a scrollable window.  The address list can
be saved, sorted, and arranged and the program's size, position,
and font may also be saved.  Unfortunately though, there are no 
help files because I don't know a help file compliler.  But the 
program is quite straight-forward and information line tips are 
vailable for the buttons and menu choices.

Finger-In-A-Window was written using Hockware's excellent VisPro 
REXX 3.0.  It does not access the TCP/IP stack directly, but 
rather calls the command-line FINGER.EXE, stores its output in
a temporary file, parses the information in the file, deletes
the file, and outputs the finger information to the output 
window.  This is kind of a cheesy (but I'm from Wisconsin, so
I think it's okay) way to do things, but it was a quick and easy 
way to get PM Finger program.  For a future release I want to 
access the TCP/IP stack directly using RxSock.  If anyone 
has a code template to do this that they would like to share, 
please let me know!

If you have any questions/comments/suggestions, please let
me know.  Feel free to email me at gregk@edp.net (mailbox 
open 24 hours a day!). 

Enjoy!
