Lets see what we can see..... (comments added to explain as we go)

Doesn't seem like that code is all that useful. How about using :
void do_finger(CHAR_DATA *ch, char *argument)
{
FILE *fp;
char arg[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH];
char strsave[MAX_INPUT_LENGTH];
char buf[MAX_STRING_LENGTH];
char *name;
DESCRIPTOR_DATA *d;
bool found = FALSE;
char letter;
char *word;
CHAR_DATA *wch = NULL;
one_argument(argument,arg);
if (arg[0] == '\0')
{
send_to_char("You must provide a name.\n\r",ch);
return;
}
name = arg;
for (d = descriptor_list; d; d = d->next)
{
if (d->connected != CON_PLAYING)
continue;
wch = ( d->original != NULL ) ? d->original : d->character;
if ( !can_see(ch,wch) )
continue;
if (!str_prefix(arg,wch->name))
{
found = TRUE;
break;
}
}
if (found)
{
if(is_clan(wch))
{
sprintf(buf,"{R<{r<{xName{r>{R>{x:
{G%16s{x\n\r{G|{g<{xClan{g>{G|{x: %16s{x\n\r{B<{x|{CLevel{x|{B>: {x%14d{x\n\r",
wch->name, clan_table[wch->clan].who_name,wch->level);
send_to_char(buf, ch);
}
else
{
sprintf(buf,"{R<{r<{xName{r>{R>{x: {G%16s{x\n\r{B<{x|{CLevel{x|{B>:
{x%15d{x\n\r",
wch->name, wch->level);
send_to_char(buf, ch);
}
sprintf(buf, "{R<{x|{GClass{x|{R>{x: %16s\n\r",
class_table[wch->class].name);
send_to_char(buf, ch);
if(wch->desc != NULL)
sprintf(buf, "%s is currently playing {RF{ro{Rr{rg{Ro{rt{Rt{re{Rn
{DE{xm{Dp{xi{Dr{xe{D.{x\n\r",
wch->name);
else
sprintf(buf, "%s is currently linkdead.\n\r", wch->name);
send_to_char(buf, ch);
return;
}
else
/* begin real finger stuff */
Or something like that...
