It is with great regret we must announce that DQS development and
support from Computational Science and Information Technology at
Florida State University will terminate on December 27, 2000.

The DQS developers are already investigating alternative development
and support mechanisms.  Please send us your e-mail address, if you
wish to be on a special announcement/update list to green@tpgc.net.
[This list will only be used for DQS related activities.]

Installation

	tar xzf DQS3-3.3.2.tgz
	cd DQS3
	make config
	make
	make ckpt
	make installall

optionally "installall" can be broken down into the 
following steps if so desired

	make dirs        /* sets up directory structures
	make installconf /* installs conf files */
	make installbin  /* installs binaries */

Note: if make config is run as non-root, DQS assumes
you want to test as non-root and sets up the configs
accordingly.  once testing is done do a "make clean"
and manually remove the conf and bin directories.
Then repeat the following steps as root:

        make config
        make
        make installall

If you want to use a compiler other than "cc":
ex: gcc

        make CC=gcc config
        make CC=gcc
        make CC=gcc installall

=================================================
For future reference, DQS releases will be based on
a 3 digit numbering system - major.minor.patch

"odd" numbered patch releases have seen minor(if any 
testing) and reflect patches forwarded by users and
should be considered a "stopgap" replacement for the 
ftp materials previously available.(eg: use at your
own risk...)

"even" numbered patch releases have seen more extensive
testing but aren't guaranteed.(eg: use at your own 
risk...)

For information concerning DQS installation, please see
DQS3/DOC/user_guide/InstMaint.*.

For a listing of changes from previous versions please 
see DQS3/ChangeLog.

For a list of known/requested patches/features, please
see DQS/ToDo.(Please feel free to make suggestions.

As usual, bugs should be sent to dqs@csit.fsu.edu
(see DQS/DOC/user_guide/InstMaint.* for info on
other DQS related mailing lists.)

btw: due to university policy, we have to ask that all patch
or contributed SW become the property of FSU (though we really
do appreciate the contributions and acknowledge the authors
of such.)
