The V-System is a message-based distributed operating system developed at
Stanford.  The refrence manual I have is dated December 1983.  It is designed
so that the workstation acts a front end to resources available over a 
local net.  

The V-System includes software to provide window oriented access to the 
workstation's graphics screen.  

For more information, I would suggest that you contact the Stanford University
Computer Systems Laboratory.
