Re: [Condor-users] limit on the number of input files ?

[Alan Christy Arokiam <alanca@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ian,
Just out of curiosity, I thought the execution node was running XP on 
x86, how can a solaris executable (non x86) run on an x86??
Windows can natively run about 99% of Linux/Unix executables for x86 on 
x86, as long as SFU is installed and the GCC versions match etc, but 
runing zip -A on solaris and using on XP, sounds unlikely to me :-\ , I 
was thinking of zipping it with powerzip on the network.
