Subject: WAIS Toolkit 0.72 for Windows NT available This message is to announce the availability of a new version of the freeware WAIS Toolkit for Windows NT. This software allows a Windows NT machine to prepare and search full-text databases and can be used as the searching engine for the Gopher Server (GOPHERS), the HTTP Server (HTTPS), or the WAIS Server (WAISS) for Windows NT. WAIS Toolkit version 0.72 is largely based on the "freeWAIS" version 0.3. Executables for Intel-based systems, MIPS systems, and DEC Alpha systems, are available. This version is a merged upgrading from the WAIS Toolkit 0.6 to the "freeWAIS" version 0.3 plus some bug-fixes. The software may be FTP'd from emwac.ed.ac.uk in the directory pub/waitool. There are three ZIP files, for the different CPU types. Be sure you download the right one for your processor. Source for WAIS Toolkit 0.72 is available in WTSOURCE.ZIP in the same directory. New features in 0.72 ==================== * Bug fixed: when indexing files in current directory with "-r" option and wildcard, the WAISINDEX caused "Application Error". * WAISLOOK will return an more sensible error message for non-existing database. New features in 0.71 ==================== * Bug fixed: when indexing some long line HTML files, the WAISINDEX caused security access violation. New features in 0.7 =================== * The WAISLOOK and WAISSERV support boolean searches. The boolean operators are 'and', 'or', and 'not'. * The WAISLOOK with -gopher option will return the Gopher type for each matching file based on the EMWAC Gopher Server configuration information. * Bug fixed: when indexing some HTML files, the WAISINDEX caused security access violation. This software has been produced as part of the European Microsoft Windows NT Academic Centre (EMWAC) project. EMWAC has been set up to support and act as a focus for Windows NT within European academia. It is sponsored by Datalink Computers, Digital, Microsoft, Research Machines, Sequent and the University of Edinburgh.
