Hi, I am trying to port the NASA's NQS (network queuing system) to the Sun4. Is there anyone who has done this and can give me pointers on what needs to modified. I am targetting SunOS v4 but experience with any version of SunOS will be more than appreciated. thanks in advance tim leight (leight@neptune.amd.com) (512-462-5456) lost in the bit stream

Is NQS the same as BBN's MDQS (Multi Device Queueing System)?
I ported MDQS to 4.3bsd and SunOS 2.0 and such, and made mods for it to talk
to a laser printer and a PUP network.

Don't speak to him of your heartache, for he is speaking.

Next, NQS started as modifications to MDQS at a national lab, and was "borrowed" by outside contractors who conveniently forgot that it wasn't theirs and now claim that it is. I don't know what's supposed to be "better" about NQS. You can still get MDQS from BRL. We use it all the time for multi-queue, multi-device spooling on our campus-area network.
