Inter-WIZ communications part II - page 3

The send and recv block commands allow a sequential group of datums to be transferred.

(send block , WIZ-ID ) , N => ZOZ      // send N words to given WIZ
   X1, X2, X3, ... => ZOZ              // followed by the N data words sent

(recv block , WIZ-ID ) , N => ZOZ      // receive N words from given WIZ
  ZOZ=>X1; ZOZ=>X2; ZOZ=>X3; etc ...   // followed by the N data words received

Suppose we have a function of several arguments, ie, funct(a,b,c,d,e). We could send them like this:

   (send, funct) , A => ZOZ
   (send, funct) , B => ZOZ
   (send, funct) , C => ZOZ
   (send, funct) , D => ZOZ
   (send, funct) , E => ZOZ

Or, we could do:

   (send block, funct) , 5 , A , B , C , D , E => ZOZ

Likewise, the receiver could use recv block like this:

   (recv block, 0) , 5 => ZOZ ; ZOZ => X ; ZOZ => Y ; ZOZ => Z ; ZOZ => U ; ZOZ => V
