WHAT IS WAIS?
WAIS is an emerging Internet service for the searching of a distributed
set of databases. The protocal is based upon the ANSI draft Z39.50. WAIS
stands for Wide Area Information Servers and orginated as a project
between Thinking Machines, Apple, and Dow Jones. Thinking Machines has
been promoting WAIS by providing a free server and client software. The
Macintosh client, WAIStation, was written in TCL by a subscriber to TCL-
Talk. For more information about WAIS and using WAIStation and SWAIS,
