Wide Area Information Servers (WAIS) was created using what is now the obsolete version 1 of Z39.50, documented as Z39.50-1988. ASF incorporates the GILS Profile, which requires Z39.50 version 2 or version 3. The commercial version of WAIS was updated to be GILS-compliant, but the freeware version of WAIS has not been updated. Users of WAIS are strongly encouraged to upgrade to GILS and ASF.
