I have finally got NQS somehow working in our RISC/ULTRIX system.
However, when I tried to set a cpu-time limit to a batch queue, I could not get
it right. I strongly suspect that the various options in the Makefile were not
set correctly. I more or less guessed some of them, I have already noticed,
that RISC/ULTRIX is unlike the VAX/ULTRIX the Makefile knows about. 
Could someone with NQS working on a DECstation and better knowledge on the cpu
and ULTRIX send me some information. I would also be grateful of a useful
example of a device queue. I have got batch and pipe queues working, but the
documentation being what it is, I have not been able to decide, if device
queues would be practical in our system, let alone to build one.
