version:	1.35
hardware:	Sun-4/670MP, Sun-4/50, Sun-4/40
OS:		SunOS 4.1.2 (on all machines)
C compiler:	gcc -O2 (on all machines)

	Two more things.

	A man page is desperately needed.

	Also:

phantom:qralston:~/work> finger .clients
There are 37 clients served by phantom.cislabs.pitt.edu.

Hostname                 Address         Status           Idle Time

reyer.cislabs.pitt.edu   130.49.10.49    free             

	Eek!  How about cleaning this up so that the columns line up
properly?  Truncating the hostname to a minimum number of characters
would probably be a good start.

	(Yes, I know, I'm being a pain.  It's late; please pardon my
tactlessness.)

	Regards,

James
