!     To add direct WAIS support, get the freeWAIS distribution from
!     "ftp://ftp.cnidr.org/pub/NIDR.tools/freewais";, and compile it.  The 
compile
!     process will create the libraries you will need, wais.a and client.a.  
Edit
!     the Makefile in the top level directory and add the library locations 
under
!     the DIRECT WAIS ACCESS heading.  Edit the Makefile for the WWW Library in
!     "WWW/Library/Implementation/CommonMakefile" to point to the include
!     directory for the freewais distribution.  Precompiled libraries are
!     available for many platforms if you don't wish to compile one yourself.
