Hello, Barry and Jed,<br><br>perhaps there's been some misunderstanding on my part and I have not comprehended that well Barry's response. Now, I think I do and I'm with both of you on this.<br><br>The fact is that I'm doing this for my bachelor's thesis and I <b>must</b> finish it by next wednesday, and now you can kind of get why I'm much more inclined to choose a solution that can be quickly implemented by me (considering my limitations and strengths) than a solution "compliant with PETSc's design principles". I don't know if that makes any sense to you, but the bottom line is: if I had to go with an "ugly" (in the good old "software engineering sense", I mean), but practical, solution in order to get my thesis done in time, I will. Unless you guys are willing to help me out, so we can work together on this :D<br>
<br>Anyway, I do intend, once I get passed this college thing, to produce a more carefully thought of code. :D<br><br>Rafael<br>
