Introduction
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
My first TCP/IP client with a GUI, MUI-Finger, turned out to be much more
popular than I ever had imagined.  I personally thought it was pretty crap,
but I didn't do anything about it until now.  mFinger is a complete rewrite
of MUI-Finger, only a few lines of code has survived.  A good deal of code
and ideas has been borrowed from my WeatherExperience client.  The major
difference is the way networking is handled.  In WeatherExperience I used a
cumbersome way of making the socket I/O 99% asynchronous, mFinger uses a
subtask instead which gives a cleaner design and 100% asynch operation.

Requirements
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
 · AmigaOS 2.04 or higher
 · MUI 3.6 or higher, with the NList.mcc custom class installed (included)
 · A TCP/IP stack (like AmiTCP, Miami, As225, Inet225 or mlink)

Features
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
 · Nice and userfriendly MUI GUI.
 · Locale.
 · Asynchronous network operation, the GUI is never locked and you can abort
   a finger request at any time.
 · A horizontal scrollbar and clipboard support (both curtesy of NList.mcc).
 · ARexx support. Currently has three commands: Finger, Abort and Clear.
 · Nice popup addresslist with two columns, buttons for adding, removing,
   sorting, etc. addresses as well as drag and drop sorting.
 · Displays a status text indicating what it is doing and a Busy object while
   fingering.
 · Uses its own icon as an appicon when iconified.
 · Can take a commandline argument of an address to finger.

   What more could you possibly want in a finger client?! :)
