[comp.unix.questions] Where do I get NASA NQS Software?

les@uwovax.uwo.ca (02/02/91)

 Could someone please tell me:

	1. Where the binaries/sources for the NASA Network Queueing System
		(NQS) are? (I understand that they are Public Domain?).

	2. Does a VAX/VMS counterpart to the Unix NQS exist?  We would like
	   to be able to queue jobs to a Unix system from a VMS system.

 Thanks,

As I understand it, Intergraph (A CAD vendor) saw NQS at NASA and purchased
the rights to the product.  Intergraph has enhanced the product quite a bit
in the 2 years since I first saw it.  I also heard that NQS was accepted
as the network queueing system for OSF.  If you want to talk to Intergraph,
the phone number is (205) 730-2000.

Intergraph has created a client only version of NQS for VMS.  I am currently
using it and it works nicely.
