As I understand it, Intergraph (A CAD vendor) saw NQS at NASA and purchased
the rights to the product.  Intergraph has enhanced the product quite a bit
in the 2 years since I first saw it.  I also heard that NQS was accepted
as the network queueing system for OSF.  If you want to talk to Intergraph,
the phone number is (205) 730-2000.

Intergraph has created a client only version of NQS for VMS.  I am currently
using it and it works nicely.
