This line should probably be repeated with more boldface, caps, and exclamation points. On the other hand, it would be better if we could make the default behavior more user-friendly. Instead of testing for the presence of a --read_legacy command line switch, why can't we test for the absense of that new version line at the beginning of the file? Otherwise, very nice work. We don't support writing the Mesh in parallel yet, right; just the EquationSystems?

Of course, you probably just changed MeshData's status from "broken in parallel" to "really broken in parallel", but one thing at a time. > and then restoring the original. As far as the library code is concerned we should be able to get away without restoring the original, but it's good that you did; better to do some unnecessary work than to violate the Rule of Least Surprise. > it for a while and chose this approach over adding a > DofObject::global_id() or something like that, although that may be > something to consider for the future. No; you made the right choice. --- Roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
