Hello Geoffrey,

You could have a look at :
http://www.eit.com/software/swish/
and
http://www.eit.com/software/wwwwais/

I used both together on a couple of projects in the past.  Work very well, 
are easy to set up and don't need upkeep apart from periodic index 
generation to include new material.  For a person of your unquestionable 
expertise, a piece of cake.

PS> Thanks for the great work you guys are doing there (that includes 
Sergey and all other contributors).


Cheers ...

Free to use as long as you advertise.  Also, no sources.

yes, imagine my dismay at forgetting the name of the CYGWIN_TTY variable,
having deleted all the mail items that mentioned it, foolishly thinking
"oh, it's all in the archives", and spending an hour looking for it there!

you could look into these.

does anyone know of any others?

failing that, if you send me the sources to the cgi programs that are
currently handling the archive, i'd be willing to add searching to them.

Hi,

Your site would greatly benefit from a search engine.  I'm having
problems finding information that I think would be easily obtainable
through a search engine.

For example, I have an application that I need to port from UNIX to
NT.  This application uses libcurses.  Is libcurses available in GNU-
Win32?  What kind of support do you provide for X/Motif applications?

Is it possible to mix and match POSIX and Win32 system calls in the
application?

Finally, does gcc support 64-bit integers on GNU-Win32?

Thanks,
