Thanks for the prompt response Todd.
This may be a little dense, but I spent several weeks bashing my head
with dag jobs around, or just before, the 6.7 series, and would like

If DagMan jobs are just condor jods with: ".... arguments=dag-file"
I don't see where the need is to mimic the classic job file contents?
