Re: MPI code error raises a question

That is, according to the MPI Glossary at:
http://people.scs.fsu.edu/~burkardt/html/mpi_glossary.html
in  particular:                              
http://people.scs.fsu.edu/~burkardt/html/mpi_glossary.html#MPI_Recv

The first argument (data) to MPI_RECV "may be a scalar or a vector."
