[FLASH-USERS] Two issues (PLUTO and Chombo)

[Anshu Dubey]

The module in FLASH was contributed by Andrea Mignone, the author of Pluto.
The module is FLASH is several years old, and it is very likely that Andrea
has been updating the implementation in Pluto. That is why it would be
better to use Pluto. Also, FLASH+Chombo has limited capability, many of
FLASH modules do not interoperate with Chombo, whereas Pluto uses Chombo
for AMR. So overall Pluto seems like a better option for you.
Best,
Anshu
