[Swift-user] Passing GRAM parameters

[Andriy Fedorov]

Michael,

Thank you for this clarification. I will post an update if I have problems.

I am sorry I cannot try things out right away, but I am in the process
of setting up my software on TeraGrid, and it's going to take some
time... But I WILL have updates on whether this works or not,
eventually! :)

Andrey
