Then follow this paradigm for all set types and packages? But then since there is a PCFactorSetMatSolverPackage() and a PCFactorSetMatSolverPackages() should there be<br>
a -pc_factor_mat_solver_package package AND -pc_factor_mat_solver_packages package1:package2 ?</div></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra" style>No need, if it containts a ':' then it's an alternative.
