ASM question

[Barry Smith]

   Matt,

    Easy as A, B, C

A)   First set the overlap to zero
B)    Second call PCASMSetLocalSubdomains() with the index sets for  
each subdomain on the process (I am assuming you have these and they  
overlap)
C)    Make a shell matrix with one method MatGetSubMatrices(), pass  
this matrix in as the second matrix to KSPSetOperators()
       have that method give back the created overlapped matrix it  
knows how to do as its method for MatGetSubMatrices()

   Barry

Note: the index sets you pass into B tells the PCASM the vecscatters  
it needs to make.
