Yes, that's correct.
Terri, thanks for this; it was very interesting.
I'm curious if you
ever worked with Bryan Jensen, who wrote the Penn State version of VMS
finger?
I assume that is BJJ@PSUVMS1. He contributed to the version of Finger I was later
maintaining, at last twice:

So, that was all before I started work on it. So the current VMS
Finger is probably a later version of the one maintained at PSU.
I'm not sure about this part; as I understood it, Bryan wrote Penn
State finger from scratch. I find a version of it online:

But it seems that it's getting hard to come by. On my Alpha, I found
version 1.5, but I can't find that online (at least not in my cursory
search). I'm happy to upload that somewhere if anyone would like.
