[Wien] wien in parallel

[Travis Sefzik]

Dr. Andersen,

I will certainly try what you have suggested, thank you very much.

My system administrators have requested that I make an inquiry as to 
whether any WIEN users have experience using mpiexec for parallel 
processing with the program.  I've searched the mail list archives and 
have not found much (just a few references).


Thanks!
