Yeah. We screwed up. It was one of those deals where the code got ported and
installed in a private directory, but never made it into the release. It
*still* didn't get fixed in OSx 5.0, as someone reminded me today. I'll make
sure it goes into whatever comes out next. Meanwhile, 4.3BSD-tahoe finger
source is available from uunet, and it compiles and runs just fine.
