I am trying to bring up a waisserver.  I've compiled the programs and 
installed waisserver.d.  I created several databases with wais indexes
(via waisindex).  When I use the Mac or pc wais clients, I am able to 
successfully connect to my waisserver and query and retrieve documents
from my newly created wais index/doc files (.inv .dct ...).

When I try to use swais I get a error message "Bad server" and the following
is placed in the "bad server" log file.

12967: 0: Jan 10 05:25:24 1993: 1: Accepted connection from: app1.us.ohio-state.edu [128.146.15.11], WAIS release 8 b5
12967: 999999: Jan 10 05:25:24 1993: -1: Fatal Error:    checkPtr found a NULL pointer
13069: 0: Jan 10 16:31:49 1993: 1: Accepted connection from: top.magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu [128.146.216.15], WAIS release 8 b5
13069: 999999: Jan 10 16:31:49 1993: -1: Fatal Error:    checkPtr found a NULL pointer


Does anyone have any idea why my server would work with pc/mac clients but 
not swais?  The server is on a hp9000/827.  The swais is on a the same machine
and I have also tried the swais on a ultrix machine.  In both instances, the
swais program was successful against sources on other machines.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

I'd like to use wais to index my own mailfiles, extractions from newsgroups,
etc.  I made an index using waisindex, and I'm able to search it with
waissearch, but when waissearch types an article, it simply cat's it to
the screen, instead of paging it in some sensible manner.

Does anyone reading this newsgroup know how to get waisindex/waissearch
to behave in a more friendly way?

thanks in advance
