Wide Area Information Servers (WAIS) was created using what is now the obsolete version 1 of Z39.50, documented as Z39.50-1988. GILS requires Z39.50 version 2 or version 3, documented as Z39.50-1995. The commercial version of WAIS was updated to be GILS-compliant, but the freeware version of WAIS has not been updated. An upgrade path for WAIS users is available in freeware from the Clearinghouse for Networked Information and Discovery (CNIDR) in a product suite known as Isite . A commercial software upgrade path is available from Blue Angel Technologies
