Re: [Condor-users] Mac OS X support

[Tim Robertson <timr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok.  So, it looks as though the simplest interpretation of the 
documentation is correct -- you can't do anything with standard 
universe on Mac OS X machines, whether that's submitting 
standard-universe jobs to _other_ OS X machines, or cross-submitting to 
other architectures.

I stand by my original statement that this is annoying. :-)   Let me 
add a voice to those who request support for standard universe support 
on Mac OS X.
