How to Use This Demo

	1) first set the root path of the finger server and then start
	   the server.  You will need a finger textfile in the directory
	   which you set as the working directory.  

	2) use the finger.exe command from the console (NT users) and
	   connect to the server (you may alternatively use the 
	   Ultimate TCP/IP Finger Client Control).  Log onto the finger
	   server by using the following syntax at the client:
	   [fingertextfile]@fingerserver.com.

	3) status changes (e.g. new connections, etc.) are logged to the 
	   bottom text box.  When the maximum number of connections has
	   been reached a warning is displayed in the text box.
