create a vector datatype
<H2>Synopsis</H2>
<PRE>
int MPIR_Type_vector(int count,
int blocklength,
MPI_Aint stride,
int strideinbytes, MPI_Datatype oldtype, MPI_Datatype * newtype)
</PRE>
<H2>Input Parameters</H2>
<DL>
<DT><B>count </B> <DD> number of blocks in vector
<DT><B>blocklength </B> <DD> number of elements in each block
<DT><B>stride </B> <DD> distance from beginning of one block to the next (see next
parameter for units)
<DT><B>strideinbytes </B> <DD> if nonzero, then stride is in bytes, otherwise stride
is in terms of extent of oldtype
<DT><B>oldtype </B> <DD> type (using handle) of datatype on which vector is based
</DL>
<P>
<H2>Output Parameters</H2>
<DL>
<DT><B>newtype </B> <DD> handle of new vector datatype
</DL>
<P>
<H2>Return Value</H2>
0 on success, MPI error code on failure.
