[HECnet] Altavista source

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.

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?
