          Part of the Wide Area Information Server system.

          waisserver will take WAIS requests from a TCP port or
          standard-io and return the appropriate response.  If the
          name of the command is waisserver.d, then it is assumed it
          is running from inetd, and it uses stdio for it's I/O
          sockets.  See the examples below for inetd.conf.

           ----pppp [ port ]
                    Listen to the port.  If the port is supplied, then
                    that port number is used.  If it is not supplied
                    then the Z39.50 port (210) is used.

           ----ssss       listen to standard I/O for queries.

           ----dddd directory
                    Use this directory as the default location of the
                    indexes.  Therefore if the directory were
                    /usr/local, then the database foo would be found
                    in /usr/local/foo (see waisindex for how to create
                    an index)

            ----eeee [ filename ]
                    Redirect error output to pathname, if supplied, or
                    to /dev/null.  Error output defaults to stderr,
                    unless -s is selected, in which case it defaults
                    to /dev/null.

            ----uuuu user Set the server's user id to the user specified
                    after attaching the tcp-port. This is only used if
                    the server is started as root.

            ----vvvv      Print the current version and date of the server.

          waisserver -p 8000 -d wais-sources -e server.log
               Runs waisserver as a standalone server, using tcp port
               8000 on directory wais-sources writing messages to
               server.log

          Some example inetd.conf entries (note, these must be on one
          line in inted.conf):

          hpux 7.0/800, Interactive/386 2.2.1:

          z3950 stream tcp nowait root /etc/waisserver waisserver.d
           -d /wais-sources -e /server.log

          Ultrix 4.1:

          z3950 stream tcp nowait /etc/waisserver waisserver.d
           -d /wais-sources -e /server.log

          Also, add the next line to /etc/services, and tickle your YP
          server:

          z3950 210/tcp # wide area information server (wais)

          The diagnostics produced by the waisserver is meant to be
          self-explanatory.

          Under BSD logging information is sent to standard output,
          instead of standard error.  This means the -e and -s options
          won't work as expected.
