name_finder is available for anonymous ftp from ftp.eng.auburn.edu
[131.204.10.91] as pub/name_finder1.2.tar.Z.  There is also a compile
patch as pub/name_finder1.2.compile.patch1.  I haven't worked on the
code since May and haven't gotten any requests for enhancements or
bug reports since then so I guess it works :-)

Here's a short bit from the man page:
     name_finder was orginally designed as a replacement for  the
     name  finder  missing from the OpenWindows version 3.0 mail-
     tool.  It has since grown into a tool for several electronic
     mail  related  activities  including: interaction with local
     ListServ  robots  for  handling   mail   lists,   requesting
     Full.Name style mail aliases from your local PostMaster, and
     providing mailbox status information ala finger(1).

name_finder is written in C++ (cfront 2.1) using gxv++ version 1.1.
If you don't have access to a C++ compiler, a precompiled sparc
executable is included in the distribution.  Enjoy.
