1) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : No work sent (Message 17941) Posted 9 Dec 2005 by old_user46025 Post: My problem is as follows (below). Is this the same \"Sulfur not available for Mac\" problem?

[/bold] > Message from server: (there was work for other platforms) This message may be because the project has started the Sulphur cycle experiment. This has 2 extra phases, and a HUGE program file to download. And I think that there are no plans to put this onto Macs. It was intended that people without suitable equipment would still get a slab model, but this hasn\'t worked. Everyone seems to be getting Sulphur. Carl is going to look into it Monday, Oxford time.
2) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Disk space (Message 12960) Posted 30 May 2005 by old_user46025 Post: I have 1.58 GB available on my disk, but still get this msg: 2005-05-30 16:21:47 [climateprediction.net] Message from server: No work available (there was work but you don't have enough disk space allocated) How much do I need to free up to continue? Thanks!
3) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Build for G5? (Message 10213) Posted 2 Mar 2005 by old_user46025 Post: OK, Surely SOMEONE out there has access to a Fortran compiler with G5 additions. Can we get this done? Thanks, Malcolm > > In theory it should just need to be recompiled with a G5 target. > > Theory is a wonderful thing. And free. > However a fortran compiler for G5 is NOT free.

4) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Build for G5? (Message 10164) Posted 1 Mar 2005 by old_user46025 Post: Christian, Thanks for the info. It is what I suspected. I sent a query off to tech support. hopefully they will come up with something. I am sure that I am not the first person with this question!

5) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Build for G5? (Message 9095) Posted 10 Feb 2005 by old_user46025 Post: Do you all have an executable compiled specifically for the Mac G5? It seems we could get a lot more bang out of this if we did. In theory it should just need to be recompiled with a G5 target. Many thanks!
