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:
c V5.34 Add STATE & SIZE from BJJ@PSUVMS1
25-Nov-1983
c V5.64 real V4.0 came
12-Jan-1985
c Get DCL parse kludge from BJJ @ PSUVMS1
c GET_ID from CRW @PSUVMS1 (Mail stuff)
c New IDLE.MAR (BJJ @ PSUVMS1) to use EPIDs
I didn't inherit maintainership until:
c V50.1.01 Mods at SPC - Fixed /HELP qualifier, fixed
display
c of unread mail when explicit mail directory is
not
c specified, widened location field to 25, changed
dis-
c play of unread mail slightly, display server and
port
c names without prettying.

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.
