Scott works at ORNL now. In fact he is two offices over from me. I cc
with his ORNL account. I asked him about the driver and he said just
nuke it.
I definitely think qswlnd is beyond its useful lifetime (Quadrics is
out
of business since 2009, so any systems using it are at least 5 years old),
and I believe ralnd is the same boat (it was only used for much older Cray
systems). No idea if anyone is still using mxlnd?
Scott can fill you on the details.
