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'.
