Walter is a UNIX program that provides access to databases located at MIT via the DARPA Internet. The databases provided by Walter include the full-text of the New York Times for the past 90 days. A sophisticated full-text query language is provided, and Walter uses a query routing algorithm to direct requests to the proper database server at MIT. Walter was built as an experimental test of query routing and the remote pipe and procedure model for distributed communication.
