  Yes looks like VecGetValuesBlocked doesn't exist

   Yes

   Yes


   An alternative to using VecGetValues() is to use VecGetArray() and then access the needed values from the array. To convert from global indices to the local indices needed in accessing in the array you can use VecGetOwnershipRange() and subtract off the "low" amount.
