      subroutine x_cque_c(msgtype,ipsz,nproc,tids)
! ----------------------------------------------------------------- !
! Purpose :  This subroutine acts as a shell containing message 
!            passing code to communicated with the subroutines 
!            found in the spawned slaves
! Glossary:
! ipsz       -- Total number of evaluations
! snd_c      -- Number of real numbers sent to ea. child process 
! rcv_c      -- Number of real numbers received from ea. child process 
! paraminlin -- Array storing data to be sent to ea. child process
! fitarrya   -- Array storing data returned from ea. child process
