This Wiki page has been frozen and will soon become obsolete. The current version can be found under https://github.com/ic-hep/gridpp-dirac-users/wiki.

This page is about the DIRAC "interware", i.e. middleware (or, if you will, software which lets you do stuff), or specifically GridPP's deployment of it. For other things called "dirac" which may have led you to this page, please see the links at the bottom of this page.
