Hi,

how does one implement discriminated protocols using INMOS ANSI C?

Eg in Occam:

	PROTOCOL NUMBER IS
	  CASE
	    whole; INT64
	    floating; REAL64
	    complex; REAL64; REAL64
	:

then when inputing:

	c ? CASE
	  whole; n
	    ...
	  floating; r
	    ...
	  complex; r; theta
	    ...

I need to use two varying length messages; one of 39 integers and one of
simply two integers.

Can this be done somehow using INMOS ANSI C?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Khalid
