To be more space-efficient, maybe I could zip them up myself or at least mvoe them to external/media storage. I was poking poking around the /projects/climateprediction.net//datain and dataout directory and it seems that there is a very logical structure. Can you please reccommend what can be zipped ? Thanks, Cliff

On the bottom of the results window, I get 3 phase plots each for Temp and precipitation. Is that correct?
4) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : MAC OS X processing adding value to the project? (Message 14749) Posted 30 Jul 2005 by old_user45332 Post: I\'ve been running BOINC since January on my OS X G5 with the boinc 4.19 client. I\'m concerned that within the results window I\'ve got outcomes of \"client errors\", \"unknown\", etc... Is my processing time adding any value and are my results useful at all? Thanks, Cliff

6) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Advanced Visualization problem on G5 10.3.8 (Message 11877) Posted 17 Apr 2005 by old_user45332 Post: I found that you MUST use the command line utilities of gunzip and tar after placing the AV gz file in climateprediction.net Double-clicking and letting Stuff-it Expander doesn't gunzip and untar it correctly ( or at least with my preferences). It works fine now. Cliff
7) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : Advanced Visualization problem on G5 10.3.8 (Message 11843) Posted 15 Apr 2005 by old_user45332 Post: I've got AV up and running but it can't seem to find my running model. My path to projects is: /Applications/Boinc4/projects I've tried navigating to the directory and calling AV from there but no luck; it still can't find the model. BTW, the command-line version of viz works fine. Any ideas? Thanks,Cliff
8) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : \"Another instance of BOINC is running\" (Message 9702) Posted 21 Feb 2005 by old_user45332 Post: Have you tried grepping the actual model name ? For example the output of top for my g5 is listed below. For my example you need to kill the PIDs of 25676, 25601, 25602 and 25603.
