That's why I asked the question. We're near the end of the single-machine
NQS port and looking at production and network scheduling issues.

Another AIX 3.1 deficiency that affects NQS is the lack of support for csh's
/etc/.login environment support.  The /etc/environment support is login-
specific, /etc/profile only supports sh and ksh, so NQS has no ready way to
influence the environment of those who use csh under NQS - e. g., setting
the TZ environment variable.  It will be interesting to see what IBM's
answer will be to that defect.  :-)
