WAIS seems more difficult. After several changes to things like the order of INCLUDEd files and the use of the cc '-traditional' switch to get the /lib files to compile I now have a clean (ok, slightly dingey) compile with only a few warnings. But there seems to be a 'fatal' error; a NULL pointer is created on a first run of WAIS and then a number of .lock files fail to clear on subsequent runs. The search results are either 'not found' or a single file when several should be returned. When Gopher is compiled with WAIS searches result in a 'not found' condition each time. So I'd like to hear if anyone else has tried to port WAIS or Gopher with WAIS to 386bsd -patchlevel 0.2.3, to be exact. (I did search 'minnie', but the individual who asked this same question some time ago is no longer at the e-mail address given... (Are you out there Graham Toal?)) Thanks in advance...
