Complete source files for Macintosh WAIStation available

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.
