- In agreement with Bill Silvert, Veronica is a step forward, but of course will
- need refinement. My example, a search on ERIC (obviously interested in access to
- the ERIC database) one gets a large number of hits which I believe are in fact
- hits on 'pointers' to the same WAIS search engine (site?). How this can be
- filtered I can't propose, but it seriously limits the present utility of
- Veronica. Filtering of duplicate pointers to 'other gophers' should be
- relatively easy to do.
