Actually, I assumed he was talking about the "V" distributed kernel
which has been used for a variety of graphics applications and simply
didn't know it was developed at Stanford.  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")
