Yowie zowie - GNU finger is really nice..

One minor quibble:

The ".free" special user is broken when this macro is defined.

The test for 'wide' finger occurs *before* the test for the .free

Here's the particulars:

       * The GNU Finger version and where you obtained the distribution.

    1.3.7 - from a mirror of prep.ai.mit.edu

       * Changes you made to the GNU Finger configuration files.

    #define INFO_IS_DEFAULT /* */

       * Any changes you have made to the source code or installation
	 procedures.

Here is a patch to fix:
