	Introduction

	This is a summary of the changes to Monsanto NQS as released by the
	Univesity of Sheffield.  

	We are most grateful for the contributions made by other
	individuals and/or organisations.

	--------------------
	Version 3.36.2
	
	----------
	New OS Supported : Linux
	
	NQS now compiles and runs on Linux.  Tested on Linux 1.1.54 with gcc
	v2.2.58, although I can't see any reason why it should not work on
	any standard Slackware distribution running a 1.0.x Linux kernel.
	
	NOTE that because Linux lacks a plock() call, the NQS daemon cannot
	be locked in memory from qmgr(1m).  Otherwise, all the functionality
	of NQS is available on Linux.

	--------------------
	Version 3.36.1
	
	----------
	Compilation Problem
	
	nqs_reqser.c has had two lines of code split into more lines to work
	around an apparent compiler problem on Solaris 2.3.

	----------
	Compilation Problem
	
	The makefile has been altered to link against libnqs.a and libnmap.a
	using `-lnqs.a' and `-lnmap.a'.
