OK--I stand corrected... I did check before I sent the e-mail but perhaps
the old version was cached in my browser.

May I make the following coments--

on step #6 it is easy to use the wrong postgres syntax
to create the database and *think* it is owned by quillwriter
but in fact it was not.  It would help if the correct syntax
was just put there in the docs.

$ createdb --username=quillwriter quillcm -W
Password:
CREATE DATABASE
-bash-3.00$

createlang plpgsql quillcm

I believe that the two psql loads of the *.sql files must also be
done as quillwriter user--at least that was the way it worked
for me after two previous failures and dropping the database.

Also note that there are still some bugs with how the condor_history
daemon interacts with quill--I have reported these in a condor-support
ticket.  In particular if you try to do condor_history -name quill@hostname
from some other host than hostname, it won't work.
