Gibbon Finger is a graphical (PM) finger program with many features,
including quick lists, scrollable windows that show the results, and
the ability to copy the output to the clipboard, a file, or a printer.
The results of the finger request is displayed in a separate window.
You can have multiple results showing, either in separate windows, or
one after the other in a single window. The fonts and colors for the
results windows can be configured using drag-n-drop from the OS/2
system Font and Color palettes.
The Gibbon Finger Daemon is a combination of two programs. The setup
program is a graphical (PM) program that you can use to fully customize
the response to a query. You can include custom messages before and
after the actual response, and you can include plan and project files.
The daemon itself is a text-mode application. It receives incoming
queries, and formats the response based on your preferences as you have
set them up using the setup program. It can be started manually and
be constantly running, or you can have it start from INETD.
The Gibbon Finger package is available at
ftp://ftp.gibbon.com/pub/gcp/gcpfng10.zip
It has also been uploaded to ftp-os2.nmsu.edu and will end up in the
/os2/network/tcpip directory.
