- Thanks to all who have responded with information on where to find WAIS.
- I now have a working version of Gopher and WAIS.
-
- Gopher may be gotten from boombox.micro.umn.unc with full sources and
- ready to go under MultiNet in the directory pub/gopher/VMS/vmsclient.v06.
-
- WAIS may be gotten from several sources (I presume that Gopher may also,
- but I wasn't looking for them) but I chose mcclb0.med.nyu.edu at the
- kind invitation of Ross Smith. The directory [anonymous] contains a
- compressed backup of a fully working WAIS with _sources_. I picked up
- a neat menu driver for wais [called waismenu] from aarvark.ucs.uoknor.edu,
- a twg site. This menu has the nearest thing I have seen to documentaion
- for WAIS.
-
- I hope that this is useful to others.
