As High Frequency Radar Division* currently employs some useful (and in that sense valuable) freeware and public-domain software, its management has consented, in the spirit of wishing to "pay its dues" and encourage this environment, to make some of its own, locally implemented hypertext services software available to the broader VMS community.
The Division recognises that although having no commercial value, this software can never-the-less be valuable to other sites because of its low cost (usually media only) and in that it may address niche requirements not viable for commercial vendors. It should be emphasized that this is not a commercial-grade package, has not been designed with that in mind, should not be recognised as such, nor is it in any way endorsed by High Frequency Radar Divison or its Management.

less recently Surveillance Systems Division,
and now even more remotely Wide Area Surveillance Division.Dr. Malcolm G. Golley CHFRD, 1996
Much of the development of WASD during the first couple of years took place using Divisional resources. Since it's release as freeware very much more has taken place during my own time. I would like to thank my long-suffering "widow" Robyn, without whose patience and resignation the continued development of WASD would not be possible. Thanks sweetheart, for understanding I need a "fix" every now-and-then, Mark.
