                      9: This module does not actually perform the WAIS protocol directly, but it
                     10: does using one or more libraries of the freeWAIS distribution. The
                     11: ui.a library came with the old free WAIS from TMC,  the client.a and
                     12: wais.a libraries are needed from the freeWAIS from CNIDR. <P>

                     24: The wais source files are parsed by a separate and independent module,
                     25: <A NAME="z1" HREF="HTWSRC.html">HTWSRC</A>.  You can include HTWSRC
                     26: without including direct wais using this module, and your WWW code will
                     27: be able to read source files, and access WAIS indexes through a gateway.<P>
