QNX Doom was an officially authorized but unsupported source port of Doom to the QNX operating system, a Unix-like system. The porting work was performed by QNX Software Systems Ltd., the developers of the OS, and was based on work done by Dave Taylor for the Linux and SGI ports of Doom. The port's executable files were available for free and could be combined with either the data for the shareware or registered versions of Doom, which had to be acquired separately.
