It works fine on various flavors of 4BSD, at least, on VAXes.
Early releases of MDQS didn't work very well in System V or NFS
environments, but we think those problems are fixed in the current
release, which is available via anonymous FTP from host VGR.BRL.MIL
as file arch/mdqs.tar.Z (a compressed tar archive of the sources).
