   BCintro - Introduction to the BlockComm mesh package.

Description:
This directory contains some fairly general routines to manage meshes
and other distributed arrays on parallel processors.  The design goals are

$    1. Limit buffer copies
$    2. Allow multiple "slabs" per processor
$    3. Copy general "slabs" from one domain to another
$    4. Allow for various communications optimizations, including
$       a. asynchronous sends/receives
$       b. forcetypes (1-1 mapping of data to processors)
$       c. buffering (merging) of data
$    5. Independence from other codes, and SMALL
