ABSTRACT:: 
We describe the effects of a new user-level library for the 
Galley Parallel File System.  This library allows some pre-existing 
sequential programs to make use of the Galley Parallel File System 
with minimal modification.  It permits programs to efficiently use 
the parallel file system because the 
user-level library groups accesses together. 
We examine the performance of our library, and we 
show how code needs to be modified to use the library.
