Hi!,
I have two questions:
1) Shells:
Has anyone ported or made available either ksh (the Korn shell) or tcsh
(a nice extended csh with visual history and emacs-like key bindings)?
2) NQS (Network Queueing System)
We have a silicon graphics beast set up as a number-cruncher & are
awaiting NQS for it (I believe it's in the post)
Is the source code available? or (better for us) are there ports around
for Ultrix and/or VMS?
Has anyone experience of setting up NQS over a heterogenous network -
how difficult is it likely to be?
Thanks,
Kris

There is a version of tcsh available for ftp form vgr.brl.mil. We have it. The only problem is that it was compiled with the system wide cshrc file disabled which makes it useless for our purposes. There are also sources in the form of diffs from the 4.3 BSD sources. Which are only useful if you happen to have the 4.3 BSD csh sources. If you can't ftp them I might be able to arrage for you to use coloured book ftp from one of our vaxes. It would cost you since you would have to go through public X25 net.
