"Model for Distributed Computing Library as implemented by me." \
"Work in Progress" "

	This document is designed for me to collect my thoughts, if it
makes no sense to you, its probably not your fault. 
	Library should include functions to 

int distlib_calc (int operand1, int operand2, unsigned char operation, int times, int priority);
int distlib_calc (float operand1, float operand2, unsigned char operation, int times, int priority);
	send message to SERVER 
[size of message (4bytes)][TypeID=1,2 (1byte)][priority (1byte)][operand1][operand2][operation]

To be replied with its TaskID (not to be confused with TypeID above)
	TaskID is 2bytes in size

	Where operation is
1	=	Add			(operand1 + operand2)
2	=	Subtract		(operand1 - operand2)
3	= 	Multiply		(operand1 * operand2)
4	=	Divide			(operand1 / operand2)
5	=	Modulous 		(operand1 % operand2)
6	=	Raise to power		(operand1 ^ operand2)
7	=	X root			


distlib_msg *distlib_getallmsg (void);
	Gets all messages currently being sent to this host.
	Returns an array of distlib_msg:
		[size of message][taskId][retcode (2bytes)][data]

distlib_msg distlib_getmsg (int taskid, int blocking);
	Get a message for a specific taskId, NULL if no results or bad taskId
	if blocking==1, wait until message is recieved (NULL for bad taskId, still)


int distlib_exec (char path[127], char *args[128], int priority);
	Returns taskId
[size of message][typeID=3][priority][path][args]
