Description: Fserv is a Windows finger server (32 bit)
that listens for finger request on port 79 and replys to them.
It shows the clients IP addr and port and MSG's sent back and forth. 
Also it shows the total number of finger connections made to your computer.

Notes:

Fserv was written in C++ and is fast and compact.

Fserv can be run Minimized in the background.

Finger.dat contains the msg sent to finger request.
It is the user file read by Fserv when it starts up.

Finger.dat is plain txt and can be edited with notepad.
If finger.dat is lost or corrupted just make a new one
by makeing a file named Finger.txt and then renaming it Finger.dat.

Make one entry for the Mandatory [default] msg, and at least one more bracket entry for
[any_user] in the finger.dat file. Enter as many lines of text, as you want sent
in a finger msg, under each entry. Add each new user inside brackets. 
The [default] user name is mandatory you can make up the rest of the names in
the brackets. 

Example 2 USER finger.dat file: 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[default]
Welcome to WWW.any.net!
USERS:
Barney
Dino

[barney]
Hello, my name is Barney.
Visit my home page at http://www.somewhere.net/
bye.

[dino]
Hey! this is Dino.
bye.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can add up to 11 users this way plus the default user.
Make sure Finger.dat is in the same directory as Fserv so
Fserv can find it when it starts up.
Example: if Fserv is in a directory named C:\fserv\
Then also copy Finger.dat to: C:\fserv\

Fserv works with both Windows 95/98 and Windows NT. And most IRC chat programs.

The program can be used for a small business or just for fun.

To use just unzip the Fserv.zip to any directory
and then click on the Fserv.exe icon.
Example unzip Fserv.exe  to C:\fserv\

Hint:
You can make a Shortcut to Fserv on your desktop so when
you click on the shortcut it will read the Finger.dat file
that is in the same directory.

To make a shortcut just click on Fserv with your left mouse button
and drag it to the desktop. You can then run it minimized on your
desktop.

This program never expires.
No install configuration is needed, to uninstall just delete Fserv.exe
