[comp.sys.xerox] NEW-WHERE-IS database available for Lyric sources

cutting.pa@XEROX.COM (05/24/88)

[This message is only of interest to sites with Lyric Sources, Lyric LispUsers
and access to the ARPA net.]

There is now a NEW-WHERE-IS database available for the Lyric sources.  This
corresponds to the file SYSTEM.WHEREISHASH distributed with sources, but is for
use with the LispUsers module NEW-WHERE-IS rather than the Library module
WHEREIS.

The database is available through anonymous FTP as pub/lyric.hash on
PARCVAX.Xerox.COM.  It is nearly two megabytes long.

NEW-WHERE-IS (like WHEREIS) enables the file manager to know of far more
definitions than just those in the files in FILELST.  When system sources are
available this allows one to edit any definition in the system.  While WHEREIS
only gives access to FNS definitions, NEW-WHERE-IS provides access to all file
manager types.
