Oh ok, coool I gotcha now :) 

I thought of that earlier actually, I was going to propose a POSIX like system 
calls
Also what we need to think is how to we define basic data types?

void, char, int, float, long, double that sort of stuff
Is it little-endian or big-endian?

I havent payed much attention to these issues lately I have my mind working on 
other
things at the moment.
