Original-subject: SUMMARY: NQS in the public domain...
Reposted-by: emv@ox.com (Edward Vielmetti)
At the beginning of last week, I had asked a question asking peopel
if they knew if there was a public domain version of NQS out in the
public domain, for SPARC-based systems.
I got a number of responses:
- it is available from pemrac.space.swri.edu.
- it is available - commerically - from Sterling Software.
- Archie (see note below) can be used to do searches. VERY USEFUL!!!
I would like to thank all who responded,
Claude Cantin

Some site had 1.0 available for anonyous FTP. I can't remember where
it was but I can ask one of the guys I work with about it.

Sterling does sell NQS for the SparcStation (contact Don Zarlengo at
Sterling Software (415-964-9900) for more information).

It's my understanding that the PD version of NQS is available from the COSMIC
office, which is where a lot of software developed by the feds that becomes
public, is distributed from.
Seems that I recall that the COSMIC office is at the University of Georgia
at Atlanta, but I'm not sure about that ...
BTW there is an easier way to get NQS. Pay $5 million for a Cray. :-)

once loged in, ``help'', or ``prog nqs''.

I got my copy from pemrac.space.swri.edu. Unfortunately this version is
not fully implemented. Your milage may vary.

Sterling manages the NASA networks for them. One contact there is
Milo Medin (one of the principal network engineers there). His e-mail
