   Nope. What is there is the remnants of what someone monkeyed around  
with a bunch of years ago.  You are welcome to
play around with it, there is nothing beside what is there.  and we  
don't remember anything about it so cannot answer questions
any better than you could.

    Note:  this stuff is very old and uses something called SLES which  
is basically just a KSP.  You might look at the NN preconditioner,
my original hope was to try to reuse some of the infrastructure common  
to the NN (the pcis.c stuff) to implement the FETI. This
is cool stuff but somewhat challenging.
