NISS is making a substantial proportion of its information available
using WAIS (Wide Area Information Server). Some initial WAIS databases
include the NISS Bulletin Board, the CHEST Directory and the software
description files from HENSA. These will supplement, not replace, the
current NISS services. It is expected that other datasets will be made
available under the NISSWAIS service.
