/***
* This is an example of how you would implement the finger command
* in Java using NetComponents. The Java version is much shorter.
* But keep in mind that the Unix finger command reads all sorts of
* local files to output local finger information. This program only
* queries the finger daemon.
* <p>
* The -l flag is used to request long output from the server.
