Yep, in 4.0 the finger program is smart enough to sense that .plan is
a named pipe and not a 'real' file.

On saturday Ultrix 4.0 was installed on our site and since saturday
the named pipe .plan doesn't work any more with finger :-(.
Try 'cat .plan' and you will see that the construct itself does work.
