Hello,

I want to have a task that receives a message, unpacks an integer,
and sends the rest of the message to another task.
I try to do this with following commands:

    int i;
    int tid = ...; 
    int tag;
    int bufid = pvm_recv(-1, -1);
    int old_bufid;

    pvm_bufinfo(bufid, (int *)0, &tag, (int *)0);
    pvm_upkint(&i, 1, 1);
    old_bufid = pvm_setsbuf(bufid);
    pvm_freebuf(old_bufid);
    pvm_send(tid, tag);
   
I have troubles with this code. Is it possible to do at all ?
Thanks,
