		Dear all,

I am a new user of MPI and I want to implement a 
parallel program according to the processor farm
model : a farmer process distributes tasks to 
slave processes. The processing time of each task
is no constant.  So, the master process can receive
a message from any slave at any time ; master process
must submit another task to this slave process.

Is it possible with MPI, to deal with ``anonymous
receive'' (blocking or non blocking communication)?

Tank's for any help,

	Pascal
