[HECnet] Altavista source

[Keith Halewood]

Hi,

When I worked at Symantec (Enterprise Vault), I think we only ever had the altavista indexing and search DLLs (Windows). We never saw the source code. A 64bit drop-in replacement was developed internally but a 3rd party replacement was chosen instead. Such was Symantec.

What did the binary distribution run on?

IIRC when we got it at the more-or-less product stage, it could run on a
few things, but since they were supporting the project, they wanted us
to run it on a DEC product.  We bought an AlphaStation 600.

Ok - so Alpha & OSF/1 was the platform. Did you guys really make 3c per click? What was considered a Altavista branded service?

Those Web sites that choose to participate inAltaVista's Affiliate Network will receive three cents per click-through when their users access AltaVista branded services. - slashdot
