        I wouldn't say "fine" because I need to store both vectors.<br>
      </div>
      <br>
       So what is the workaround?<br>
      <br>
      - I'm not allowed to mix vectors with different block size in the
      same file?<br>
      - I'm not allowed to write more then ONE vector in a file?<br>

            <div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Dear petsc team,<br>
              <br>
              could you please tell me what's wrong with the attached
              example file?<br>
              I run it on 4 processors with petsc-3.3-p1.<br>
              <br>
              What could error message "Local size 1000 not compatible
              with block size 3!" mean?<br>
              <br>
              I've another question related to this issue. What is the
              real purpose of PetscViewerBinarySkipInfo function?<br>
              I see no reason to skip creating "info" file, because the
              file produced by the attached example seems to be correct.<br>
              <br>
              Moreover, similar block size error occurs in our code
              while reading file with multiple vectors, irrespective
              whether "info" file exists or not.<br>
              <br>
              Thank you,<br>
