The mother of all isis software is a DOS version of "MicroISIS" as an |
| 5 |
|
|
integrated system with textual user interface. There is a BSD version |
| 6 |
|
|
of "CDS/ISIS" which also runs under linux up to some 2.2.x kernels |
| 7 |
|
|
(current 2.4 kernels do not support the iBCS module for COFF |
| 8 |
|
|
binaries). Then there are several versions of "WinISIS" |
| 9 |
|
|
(M$-Windows only, but runs under linux/wine). |

A shared library version "isis.dll" of functions to access an isis db |
| 13 |
|
|
from your code exists, despite it's name, also in a linux version |
| 14 |
|
|
("isilux"); however, you need some pretty special libs to make it run. |
| 15 |
|
|
A set of command line tools ("cisis") performs tasks like importing |
| 16 |
|
|
ISO2709 bibliographic databases, inverting (index building) etc. The |
| 17 |
|
|
thing next to an isis database server is "wwwisis", which runs as CGI |
| 18 |
|
|
or from the command line and performs most isis tasks (win and lin |
| 19 |
|
|
versions). However, it actually runs per request, not as a server |
| 20 |
|
|
itself, and thus cannot provide concurrency control. |

is an AWT-based GUI (3.5 uses SWING) and a corresponding server, |

which in turn uses wwwisis. |

which was the starting point for the openisis software. |
