John,

Rather than repost something yet again that I've already posted twice about,
please look in the mailing list archives at
http://www.cgd.ucar.edu/cms/ccm3/ccm-users/hypermail/0367.html for a message
I posted Aug 12, 1999 under the title Re: creating output files on an
ORIGIN2000. The problem is not specific to an SP2 (although that's where I
first encountered it) but comes about using MPI with auxiliary files.
