                      2: Queue Example Description:
                      3: --------------------------
                      4: A cafeteria has a headwaiter. He creates a queue into which requests are
                      5: placed by the cafeteria's gatekeeper.
                      6: 
                      7: The cafeteria has a number for each table meant for seating cutomers.
                      8: The gatekeeper receives customers in groups, assigns each group a table.
                      9: Corresponding to each table assignment, he places a request (indicating the
                     10: table at which the customer group is seated) on a queue.
                     11: When he decides that it is time for closing the cafeteria, he places
                     12: the last request on the queue indicating that there will be no more
                     13: customers.
                     14: 
                     15: The headwaiter reads each request from the queue (for FIFO : according to
                     16: first come, first serve. For LIFO, last in gets first table, and for PRIOrity,
                     17: according to each customers priority) and dispatches a waiter to the table
                     18: where the customer group is seated.  The headwaiter closes the queue as soon
                     19: as he reads a request that has the RequestID set to NOMORE (i.e, there will
                     20: be no more customers).
                     21: 
                     22: The file serv.c emulates the headwaiter. The file cust.c emulates
                     23: the gatekeeper.
                     24: 
                     25: Running this example:
                     26:         The customer and server processes need to be running at the same
                     27:         time. Hence, do the following:
                     28: 
                     29: 
                     30:                 o At prompt, type
                     31:                   fifoque <CR>       for FIFO queues example
                     32:              or   lifoque <CR>       for LIFO queues example
                     33:              or   prioque <CR>       for PRIOrity queues example
                     34: 
                     35: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
