=========================================================

wfd is (yet another) finger daemon for win95.
It is written in c under cygwin library.

How to install it:
if you have cygwin library installed, you can recompile the sources. In 
this case, you probably know how :-)

If not, just unzip the files into some directory, put CYGWIN1.DLL into your
WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, and make wfd start each time you turn on the
computer (e.g. put it into Start group), or start it manually when you want
to.
Optionally you can make a directory c:\wfd\ and put there users' plan 
files.


Example:

if you have computer say katka.ikar.utcru.sk, and somebody fingers it 
(finger @katka.ikar.utcru.sk), it will display the user currently logged 
in windows.

If there are two users katka and maja, they can make files named 
c:\wfd\katka and c:\wfd\maja, and the content of these files will be 
displayed if somebody does finger katka@katka.ikar.utcru.sk, or finger 
maja@katka.ikar.utcru.sk respectively.


wfd recognizes following command line options:
 -l <filename> Sets logging on, and specifies which file to log to.
 -d <pathname> Sets path to directory with plan files, 
   default c:\wfd\ (do not forget trailing backslash
)
 -n Do not resolve the remote host for the logs.
 -i Change user names into lowercase.


This program would be public domain, but it is based on  Turtle Identd
daemon by Ben Collver (collver@dnc.net), from where I took out the ident
part and replaced it with finger part, and his program was under GPL, so I
guess this should also go under GPL licence.
 
However, if you really want nice finger daemon for your computer, you 
should consider installing linux.
