software: NQS 1.0
os version: 3.3.1
model: 4D/340VGX
The NQS documentation frequently urges the reader to invoke the online help
command in order to obtain useful info that is not documented anywhere else.
When I invoke the NQS queue manager 'qmgr' and ask for help, I get the
following garbage as output:
-----------------
sdchemi3[5] qmgr
Mgr: help
o adding schedctl() and sysmp()

------------------
What gets printed is the end of the RCS revision history at the beginning
of the file /usr/lib/nqs/qmgr.hlp. Attempts to get help on specific NQS
qmgr commands result in seemingly random displays of unrelated portions of
this file. Is it a problem with the help file or the qmgr program?
Here is the front end of the help file I received:
/*++ qmgr.hlp - Network queueing System
