- I have added DIRECT_WAIS support for VMS to Lynx. 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-).
