Introduction This is the WWW Support Site for the NQS-Announce and NQS-Support mailing lists available via Mailbase (NQS-Announce@mailbase.ac.uk, NQS-Developers@mailbase.ac.uk, NQS-Support@mailbase.ac.uk). You will find all the files available from the mailing list on here as well. Feel free to email me with any queries which aren't answered here. Click here to read this paper in full. Systems
Analysis - Batch Processing Systems This document is a report to evaluate and contrast freely available batch processing systems. 4D/NQS, a commercial system from Sillicon Graphics [3], is used in passing for comparison purposes. Click here to read this paper in full. Batch
Processing Systems In The UK HE Community JISC, as part of its New Technologies Initiative, is funding a one year post to evaluate, supply and support batch processing systems to the UK HE community. As part of the evaluation, a survey of UK HE sites was conducted, and this report is the result of that survey. Click here to read this paper in full. Questionaire
For UK HE Sites - Batch Processing Systems The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) has funded a one-year post to evaluate, and support, batch processing systems for UK Higher Education. It would be of great help if you could complete this questionaire and return it to me, by electronic mail, no later than Monday 24th October. Click here to read this paper in full. Progress

Usage - Monsanto-NQS This paper looks at the results of an informal survey carried out amongst the UK Higher Education NQS user community six months after JISC NTI/48.2 began. Click here to read this paper in full. An
Operational Comparison Between CODINE And Monsanto-NQS This paper provides a detailed review of CODINE, a detailed comparison of CODINE against Monsanto-NQS in light of the stated needs of UK HE [1], and a look at what each product hopes to deliver in its next revision. This paper concludes that currently neither product is superior on features, and that Monsanto-NQS is currently superior on cost. This paper is based upon an earlier paper by Professor R Hynds of Imperial College, London, presented at the JISC NTI Clusters Workshop, 12th-13th December 1994. We gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Professor Hynds and his staff during the preparation of this paper. Click here to read this paper in full. UNIX

In NTI/48.2 Project JISC, as part of its New Technologies Initiative, has funded the University of Sheffield to supply and support Generic NQS, a batch processing system, to UK Higher Education. This work is now coming to a close, and this paper presents the results of a survey of UK HE sites. Click here to read this paper in full. Questionaire
For UK HE Sites - Batch Processing Systems The University's work on maintaining Generic NQS, one of the world's leading freely-available batch processing systems for UNIX-like operating systems, is drawing to a close. It would be of great help if you could complete this questionaire and return it to me, by electronic mail, no later than Monday 3rd June 1996. Submissions are equally welcome from both UK HE sites, and other sites worldwide. Click here to read this paper in full. Final
Report : JISC NTI/48.2 Batch Processing Systems For UNIX This project has supplied over thirty UK Higher Educational Institutions [ 1], ranging for individual research groups to entire institutions, with one of the world's leading freely-available batch processing systems. Generic NQS, a robust and mature system [2], is available for nineteen [ 3] different versions of UNIX, and is the only available batch processing solution for many of those operating systems which meets stated needs of UK HE Institutions [6].
