It uses highly -modified freeWAIS modules, collected into HTVMS_WaisUI.c, HTVMS_WaisUI.h, -HTVMS_WaisProt.c, and HTVMS_WaisProt.h, interfaced to HTWAIS.c and HTWSRC.c -of the WWWLib. The socket reads and writes use the code for VMS in the Lynx -version of the WWWLib, and thus are non-blocking (interruptable via the 'z' -command), and "already" ported to all the VMS TCPIP packages supported by -Lynx. All messaging associated with WAIS searches and document fetches go to -the Lynx statusline as Progress() or Alarm() reports. - - I also prettied up the HTWAIS.c and HTWSRC.c screen displays for both -VMS and Unix. I've been trying to build in recursive FORM-based interfaces, -instead of the present iSINDEX-based interfaces, but haven't succeeded ;(. - - The DIRECT_WAIS support is automatic for VMS (i.e., is implemented -via the BUILD.COM and LIBMAKE.COM procedures, without need to specify anything -but your TCPIP package, as in the previous, standard VMS builds). Simply -enter @BUILD <TCPIP package> or enter @BUILD and then the number of -your TCPIP package in response to the prompt, and you'll have DIRECT_WAIS -support along with every other wonderful thing in Lynx 8-). - - Fote - -========================================================================= - Foteos Macrides Worcester Foundation for Experimental Biology - MACRIDES@SCI.WFEB.EDU 222 Maple Avenue, Shrewsbury, MA 01545 -========================================================================= |
