Detailed Description

Test out message delivery between two "Nachos" machines, using the Post Office to coordinate delivery.

Author

Olivier Hureau, Hugo Feydel , Julien ALaimo

Two caveats:

1. Two copies of Nachos must be running, with machine ID's 0 and 1: ./nachos -m 0 -o 1 & ./nachos -m 1 -o 0 &
2. You need an implementation of condition variables, which is not provided as part of the baseline threads implementation. The Post Office won't work without a correct implementation of condition variables.
