Excellent! Great work! Will this be a standard package for OSes to download
and install, like .rpm, NetBSD .pkg, etc.?

A note on Veronica-2: I've successfully built a new test index using a totally
new, custom indexer (i.e., not WAIS). This searches the entire 7.2 million
selector new index within a fraction of the original search system's time,
and has no limit on total number of selectors returned, along with lossy
matches, phonetic matches, etc.

Plus, the indexing system will make adding new hosts to the search index
very easy and fast to do.

Look for megaupdates to VISHNU and V-2 within the month, hopefully, as I
alter the search moles to speak Textil-FS instead of WAIS.
