Internet/!TCPIPhelp/Finger/ReadMe
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

File contents
# Files in the finger directory will be scanned when someone # 'fingers' you. You should include a file in here for each user # at your site, with the filename set to the user name. The file # should contain a few lines giving whatever information you # want the outside world to know about that person. # # You can finger yourself � 'finger yourfile@yoursite.demon.co.uk' # or 'finger @yoursite.demon.co.uk' to find the names of all users, # where 'yourfile' and 'yoursite' are replaced by the name of a file # in this directory and your sitename respectively. # # You can finger yourself even if you are not connected to demon. # This is useful for checking your setup without running up a # large phone bill. To do this, type 'finger @.' or 'finger # yourfile@.' # # There is no need to put *any* files in this directory if you # don't want to. KA9Q will run happily without them.
