I am relatively new at MPI, and am trying to apply MPI to a three
dimensional CFD code.  I need to send and receive planes of data for
boundary conditions, so I need to define vector datatypes for 3D arrays,
as outlined in appendix E.1.3 of "Using MPI".  The description there
appears to be pretty straightforward, but I'm having a terrible time
making it work correctly, especially the procedure for passing a y-z
plane of data.  Can anyone out there help?

Thanks,
