CEP2 on PowerPC

Is CEP2 still available for Mac OS X running on PowerPC computers? I am not getting any work on my Dual G5 or Quicksilver G4.

Re: CEP2 on PowerPC

Hello noderaser,

Contrary to what the System Requirements web page says, CEP2 does not run on Mac PPC. When I first read your post, I went to System Requirements so I could send you the link so you could see for yourself that Mac PPC was not supported. To my horror, CEP2 was listed as Mac, rather than Mac(2) which means Mac Intel only. Wondering if I could be so wrong, I checked a number of posts.Here is the thread that says Windows, Linux and Mac Intel only: https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/...ead_thread,30282_offset,0

Sorry for our error, which I will immediately report.

Lawrence

Re: CEP2 on PowerPC

Ah... It's sadly getting harder and harder to find work for my PPC machines. WCG is one of a very small number of projects to still support them, and I see that the newer projects lack this support as well.

Re: CEP2 on PowerPC

We will fix the System requirements to show Mac Intel only for CEP2. Thanks for telling us about the problem and sorry for the confusion.

Thanks,
