The accompanying .tar.z file is a version of freeWAIS-0.1 hacked to 
run on linux 0.99pl8. My objective was to get waisserver running 
locally for the purpose of developing ms-windows/winsock front-ends 
so I have only looked at the code for waisindex, swais and waisserver. 
make will give up soon after creating swais. In particular, I have not 
looked at the X clients.

The main changes I have made are to replace those function calls
that used fileno() to their stream equivalents. Hopefully, I have
enclosed all major changes in #ifdef linux structures. Minor changes
should have DCG in a comment nearby. There are also a mass of debugging
statements in #ifdef DCGdebug structures which should be discarded.
A search on linux and DCG should find all my changes, but it is quite 
possible a few others were slipped in during more frustrated moments. 
I have not made any attempt to remove changes that turned out to be 
redundant.
There are a couple of hard-coded getdomainname functions which
should be locally changed/removed as soon as linux supports it.
I have removed the client subdirectory from the archive and
not included any binaries as I only have a modem link to the
internet.


Hope this is of use.
