----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Could someone enlighten those of us still wondering about this, please?:

What is WAIS?   I understand that it is a client/server text retrieval package.
Is the client software strictly Mac software, or is there a generic Unix
version, or even a DOS version? I looked at the directories at quake.think.com,
and there appeared to be software only for Mac or Next machines.  I am working
in a DOS environment with acces to one Unix (ultrix) machine and one VAxVMS
computer.

Thanks for any info,
