I've constructed a z39.50, forms based WWW page. Presently, the z39.50
search engine in based on a modified version CNIDR's zclient code, and the
data presentation is handled by an in-house MARC record format engine.
The server can handle and, not and or boolean operators as well as
stop words.  It is possible to search on multiple terms (eg, subject and
title).  The primary target of this server is to provide a frontend for
searching library catalogs.  There are a number of catalogs currently
accessible via this server, however, at the moment only Michigan State
University's catalog is being displayed "properly" -- I have to
create the format configurations for the other catalogs (shortly).

The URL for this server is at:

   http://petroglyph.cl.msu.edu/Web/z3950/

Please take a look and let me know what you think.  Constructive suggestions
are welcome.  Thanks!
