Since I'm not longer sure what the original request was about, I'd like to provide the following references to distributed graphics using the "V" system at Stanford. There are many other refs to "V" in the systems literature; these are the ones that I know focus on graphics. (I have no connection with "V") Lantz, K.A., D.R.
