 Hi,
   
     I was confused when I read the MPI specification.

     What's difference between nonblocking standard mode(when using
     buffer) and blocking buffer mode ? ( since blocking buffer mode using
     nonblocking send as the same protocol as for standard send. page29)
     Are they the same in this case ?

     What's difference between nonblocking buffer mode and 
     blocking buffer mode ?

     Could anyone explain these more clearly ?
     Thank you.
