    Dear Matt, <br>
    <br>
    <br>
    are you sure?&nbsp; It is almost 4000 lines long!&nbsp; Shall I send only the
    function which bother me?<br>
    <br>
    If the entire code is what you need, shall I make a tarball and

                          global numberings, as well as communication
                          patterns between processor. &nbsp;(The latter don't
                          seem to be needed for PETSc, though.) &nbsp;When I
                          run my program in parallel, it also works, but
