I ran gn (for gopher stuff only) and httpd on my NetBSD-1.0 system running on a Mac II. I used perl scripts to search a dbm-based database and send query results to WWW clients using CGI. Aside from being a little too disk bound for really big database searches, the Mac II did a pretty admirable job for those tasks. In fact, as soon as I finish rebuilding my system with NetBSD-1.1, it'll resume those tasks. freeWAIS is a somewhat tricky compile on any system, but it should certainly work on NetBSD. -- Carl Harris EXECUTIVE Scapegoat ceharris@mal.com
