For version 10.3 release of the WASD VMS Web Services.
Versions 2.1 (May 1995) through to 9.3 (March 2008) provided the content of this document as the "Technical Overview". Over the years this had inflated to some three hundred pages and in an effort to make it more manageable was distributed between this document, "Install and Config", and one containing other "Features and Facilities".
This document introduces the WASD Web Services package and provides detailed installation, update and configuration instructions.
For configuration and use of other significant WASD capabilities see WASD Web Services - Features and Facilities
For information on CGI, CGIplus, ISAPI, OSU, etc., scripting, see WASD Web Services - Scripting
And for a description of WASD Web document, SSI and directory listing behaviours and options, WASD Web Services - Environment
