+\section{Driver Issues}
+
+When using the CoordBase domain and boundary parameters, the driver
+(PUGH, Carpet, etc) also needs to be kept informed.
+
+\subsection{PUGH}
+
+If you're using PUGH, you \textbf{must} still set the parameters
+\verb|driver::global_nx|, \verb|driver::global_ny|, and
+\verb|driver::global_nz| by hand. (Of course, you must set them
+to values consistent with the CoordBase parameters.) (If you don't
+set these parameters, PUGH will assume a default $10 \times 10 \times 10$
+grid, which is almost certainly not what you want!)
+
+\subsection{Carpet}
+
+If you're using Carpet, things are nice: just set
+\begin{verbatim}
+Carpet::domain_from_coordbase = true
+\end{verbatim}
+and Carpet will get all this information from CoordBase.
