/* wais-message.h
 *
 * This is the header outside of WAIS Z39.50 messages.  The header will be
 * printable ascii, so as to be transportable.  This header will precede each
 * Z39.50 APDU, or zero-length message if it is an ACK or NACK.  Be sure to
 * change hdr_vers current value if you change the structure of the header.
 *
 * The characters in the header are case insensitive so that the systems from
 * the past that only handle one case can at least read the header.
 *
 * 7.5.90 HWM - added constants
 * 7/5/90 brewster added funtion prototypes and comments
 * 11/30/90 HWM - went to version 2 (inits and typed retrieval)
