[yt-users] Not able to read 2D BoxLib files

[Nathan Goldbaum]

Hi Mani,

Take a look at this pull request from Matt:
https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/pull-request/501/consolidation-of-boxlib-frontends

I suspect it will be a lot easier to write a frontend using this new
framework.  I think there are still a few minor issues to work out (that's
why it's not in the codebase yet) but it should be a good place to start.

Andrew and Matt should have more information about this.
