Fw: [AG-TECH] multinode?

[Natalia Costas Lago]

 Do people involved in Grid projects agree with that?. Does Win globus
 support have the same functionality as Linux one? I think I recalled that
 some months ago I realised that there werent the same globus files in
 windows than in Linux, and I asked our system guys and they said that there
 was no globus for windows...

 Regards,
 Natalia.
