Display type:		cgthree

What were you trying to do?

	Use xwais to connect to some of the ANU (Australian National
	University) servers.

What's wrong:

	It seems that xwais can't parse any of the .src files I have.
	To repeat, start up xwais and load up any of the files
	/mit/ckclark/home/wais-sources/ANU-*.  I connect to these
	servers manually using waissearch, so I'm pretty sure
	they are valid.  I got the source files via ftp
	to ftp.uu.net.  

	[ Side notes: xmosaic also fails to
	parse them.  Also, the ANU servers we announced relatively
	recently (late July) so they may be running newer
	software. ]

What should have happened:

	It should work.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:

	N/A
