WAIS (Wide Area Information Server) at NNSC.NSF.NET
TELNET HUB.NNSC.NSF.NET
Username: wais
The screen-mode WAIS interface that I have been working on is now ready
for alpha testing. I am aware of several outstanding problems, but am
looking for feedback on the general interface and interaction model at
this time.
The "swais" (simple wais) program currently supports:
Selection of multiple sources for a query.
Specification of keywords for query on screen.
Itemization of resulting documents with attributes.
Retrieval and display (via more) of any selection documents.
Repeat current search specifying new keywords and/or sources.
It will soon support:
Retreival of documents into a local file or to a filter program.
Ability to select retrievied source descriptions in future queries.
Scrolling source and document displays for >15 items.
Send any comments to jcurran@nnsc.nsf.net.
