[FLASH-USERS] Adjusting Computational Domain

Hi Sean,

This sounds like what I'm looking for but I'm looking for FLASH3.  I 
haven't learned FLASH2.5, though I suppose it's doable.  Anybody done this 
in FLASH3?

Thank you for your offer.  I appreciate it.

Sam

If this sounds like what you need, I can send you the init_block file, though I have to warn you it is still in FLASH2.5.  I haven't needed to port it to FLASH3 yet.
