       Willow Software Release
       April 13, 1994

The University of Washington is pleased to announce the availability
of Willow -- the Washington Information Looker-upper Layered Over
Windows. Willow is a general purpose information retrieval tool. It
provides a single, easy-to-use graphical user interface (X Windows /
Motif) to any number of text-based bibliographic databases. It is
fully compatible with WWW/Mosaic and the Z39.50 database access
protocol. Willow is a cooperative project of University of Washington
Computing & Communications and the UW Libraries, with contributions by
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Willow is available free of
charge, but is copyrighted.

In addition to the source code, pre-compiled binaries are available
for DEC/Ultrix, Sun/Solaris, IBM RS6000/AIX, and DEC/vax-bsd. 

There is a WWW/Mosaic home page which fully documents Willow, with
color screen-shots of the interface, live demos, a technical
description of the architecture, and more. It can be reached at the
following URL:
   http://www.cac.washington.edu/willow/home.html

The Willow distribution can be found via ftp on
ftp.cac.washington.edu, in the willow directory. You can find a
Postscript version of the documentation as Tech-Report.ps.
