Info-Vaxers,

	Has anyone modified Rich Garland's FINGER program (for VMS systems) to 
use EXCELAN's tcp/ip programming interface?  

	Specifically, the FINGER program includes a function, Tcp_Finger, 
that handles outgoing finger requests to a tcp/ip network using Wollogong's
EUNICE TCP/IP software.  I would like a version of this function written
with EXCELAN's EXOS programming interface.  Before starting to write such
a routine, I'd like to see if anyone else has already done this.

	Additionally, if you've written an incoming daemon for VMS FINGER, 
that would be interesting too!

	Thanks.
