The primary output of the source here is the lib/libyaz.a library,
which contains support functions for implementing the server or client
Windows programmers: refer to the file windows.txt which describes
how to compile the software using Microsoft Visual C++.
+On Unix, GNU configure is used to configure YAZ and generate Makefiles.
+Type "./configure", then "make" to build YAZ.

Two test-programs of interest are generated when you type 'make' at the
top level: ztest/ztest and client/client. Ztest is a dummy database
server which returns canned responses to all queries. It's good for
of type InternationalString. Flags observed are s (sort case
sensitive), i (sort case insensitive), < (ascending), > (descending).
Eg.:
- 1=4 i> (use is title, insensitive, ascending).
- Title s< (String Title, sensitive, descending).
+ 1=4 i< (use is title, insensitive, ascending).
+ Title s> (String Title, sensitive, descending).
The directories:
server - This is the implementation of the server frontend. It
provides event-handling and server managament functions,
and calls the backend primitives (best documentation of these
- is in the file include/backend.h). See server.txt.
+ is in the file include/backend.h).
client - A demonstration client. If we come upon a good design for a
higher level client API, that will live here.
