the following ways

  • 7.3.2 fixes a bug that interfered with use of MPI for nearfield (NRFLD=1 or 2) calculations in 7.3.1

This update contains a few small modifications to the previous distribution of 7.3.1. The most significant changes concern sharing of information among MPI processes; it is hoped that these modifications will eliminate problems with MPI that a few users had previously reported.
In addition, a problem with parameter input for shape option BSLINPBC has been corrected.
