Synopsis:
load finger
Description:
This script provides a front-end to the Unix finger command. Finger is
a service that can provide general information about a user from another
site, such as his/her real name, when the person last logged in, etc.
The alias has the following syntax:
/finger [[-h] <nickname>] [[user]@full.hostname]
If a nickname is specified, the script will try to figure out the user's
address, and will finger it. It will finger @host if the -h switch is
given. Alternately, an address or hostname may be given, as per the
traditional Unix finger syntax.

Other Notes:
This script was originally written by Ian Frechette (Daemon). It has
been revised for use with EPIC by Jeremy Nelson (hop), [email protected] .
