Hi,
As someone who is also trying to use the grid for an experiment, why do
we need to hide this info. I know all these GELs are supposed to be
binary compatible but we've already had instances where that hasn't been
the case. So as a experiment we are probably going to want to certify
each of these OSs individually anyway.
It's not too difficult to put "or" clauses in the JDL or is there a
maximum length for the JDL.
Yours,
Chris.
