   I think it is vry cool, but I wan't to know how in the heck he did it.  To
   my knowledge, there isn't a way to make a .plan except input.  there is a
   way to make them use binary, but...

   any help would be greatly appreciated.

the easy way to see how its done is just redirect the finger to a file...
ie: finger ssf...@eris.cs.umb.edu > coolfile. the trick he used is actually
very simple, not even VT100/102 codes. all he does is use CR instead of
newlines. still, a hell of a good piece of work.
