… on the other hand, if you are not familiar with the code, you will have to 
spend some time becoming familiar with it before you attempt to modify the code 
to solve new problems. If there is a specific part of the code you are having 
trouble understanding, I’ll try to answer your questions. But, unfortunately, I 
do not have the time to create examples for people who want to solve modified 
problem formulations.
