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,

  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).

From: era@niwot.scd.ucar.EDU (Ed Arnold)

  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. :-)

  Archie to the rescue (try ``rsh quiche.cs.mcgill.ca -l archie'', then
  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
  address is:
