This is the constructor used by an AgentServer that wishes to SEND a AgentList message. Supply the name of the lead class, the id, the signature, arguments, dispatching server and port.

Methods

o parse 
  public void parse(byte b[],
                    int currentOffset)
parse the supplied byte array as if it were an AgentList message. Start parsing at the supplied currentOffset. currentOffset should point to the FIRST byte of the SECOND field in a message, i.e. to the first character in the word "FNam". Fills the instance variables: filenames descriptions with data from the message.
o createMessage 
  public void createMessage()
Actually fill the byte array 'msg' with ALL the bytes that make up this load message. Expects the intance variables: filenames descriptions to already be filled with valid data.
