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.
