Small point of information.  The batch queue system (NQS) was developed, to the
best of my knowledge, at NASA Ames Research Center Numerical Aerodynamics
Simulation Facility for their Crays.  Convex has taken that system, which is
pretty nifty, by the way, and packaged it up for use on their systems.  NQS is
also available on Crays from Cray Research.  There is also a PD version, I
believe that you can get fropm either NASA or COSMIC -- I don't recall which.
