[MOAB-dev] MOAB handles and processor rank

[Mark Miller]

Speaking of MOAB's parallel data management, I have been trying for
quite a while now to get some MOAB data files that I can read through
MOAB's ITAPS interfaces that have parallel decomposition, etc. I've
asked several times but still don't have any data files. If you sent
them and I missed that, please forgive me. Otherwise, is it possible to
get me some files of this nature. I'd like to add functionality to
VisIt's reader to read them.
