A complete set of WAIS source files for the Macintosh WAIStation is now available by anonymous ftp from think.com, in the file /public/wais/wais-sources.sea.hqx. This file is a BinHexed self-extracting archive containing all the same source descriptions as wais-sources.tar.Z, converted to WAIStation source documents. After you download and unpack this archive, you'll want WAIStation to recognize (some of) the new sources. There are at least two ways to do this: 1. The slow way: Run WAIStation. Choose "Open Source..." from the Source menu for each source that you want added to your source list. Close each one without changing it, and it will appear in your source list. 2. The faster way: With WAIStation *not* running, select all the sources you want added (but not more than a couple dozen at a time) and choose Open from the Finder's File menu. WAIStation will start up and will open all the selected sources. Close the stack of open source windows. (Command-W will close one, so just repeat until they're all gone.) How this was done (in case you want to do it yourself in the future): 1. Download the latest wais-sources.tar.Z from /public/wais to your favorite Unix box. Expand it: zcat wais-sources.tar.Z | tar xvf - 2. Download the resulting .src files from your Unix box to your Mac. If you use Fetch, add a suffix mapping for .src with file type = WSRC and file creator = WAIS. If you don't use Fetch, use a bulk file type setting utility such as FileTyper, File Fanatic, or BunchTyper to fix up the file type and creator.
