Description:  social programs including rwhod, rwho replacements

Mood 0.92a --- a collection of "social" programs. 

     This was compiled on a SPARC running SunOS 4.1.2, VAX running
     XINU Unix, and a NeXT running NeXTOS 2.1. I make no claims about
     portability of these programs to other systems. If you have a bug
     fix please mail me at quanstro@stolaf.edu. I will endevour to
     answer all questions promptly but can make no promises that all
     bugs will actually be fixed. (How I wish I could!)

     * what is a mood? A mood is whatever one want's it to be. For
     example, on my system, these were the moods on 2. Feb 1992:
     [moberg  ]  Jennie is feeling that life is wonderful.
     [knobel  ]  Laura is butt sore from her 2nd big
                 bike ride of the season . . . Oh where are all
                 those wonderful backrubs when you need them???
                 Curse interim break!  *sigh*
     [...]

     * fmood: gets other user's moods and displays them in various and
     sundry formats. (there is a shell script which is installed by
     make install which can be useful if fmood is not compiled for a
     particular architecture)

     * daemon: this is the daemon for doing remote moods. Mood is
     perfectly happy attempting to connect to a remote mood server
     with the constructs "mood dek@foo.bar.com" or "mood
     dek@131.21.3.1". 

     * ffriends: prints out the log in names of your "friends" (the
     people whose login names appear in ~/.friends. (There is also a
     slower shell-script version which provides more information but
     this verbose output is harder to manipulate and to format to
     one's own liking)

     * theirmail: reports on the status of other user's mailboxes.

     * geeks: reports on the ten geekiest people on the system (by
     number of hours logged in)

     * in.rwhod: the daemon for my implementation of rwho. This
     implemenation is minimally 2n! faster than Berkeley rwho and is
     noticablly faster than finger (1) even on a SPARC II. 

     When run with the command like `-c <server>' then in.rwhod does
     the client thing, reporting when necessary back to the server.
     When run without these options, in.rwhod does the server thing
     collecting information from clients and responding to queries. 

     * rwho: the user-level interface to the in.rwhod server.
     typical output looks like
     [mari.acc.stolaf]  quanstro ttyp3    (loki4.cs.stolaf.)
     [mari.acc.stolaf]  quanstro ttyp4    (loki4.cs.stolaf.)
     [mari.acc.stolaf]  tremlh   ttyp5    (g-atalk2.atalk.s)
     [mari.acc.stolaf]  matgress ttyp6    (xyplex1.stolaf.e)
     [mari.acc.stolaf]  fritchie ttyp8    (spare2.acc.stola)
     [asgaard.acc.sto]  gruetzne ttyp0    (131.234.128.231 )
     [asgaard.acc.sto]  tremlh   ttyp1    (g-atalk2.atalk.s)

     * rw: a reformatter for rwho output. Typical output looks like
     [mari.acc.stolaf] schultej quanstro quanstro quanstro quanstro
                       tremlh matgress fritchie
     [asgaard.acc.sto] gruetzne tremlh math12c fritchie
     [newton.acc.stol] quanstro

Have fun and happy hacking!
