Not only yes, but hell yes..... please! Would there be any way it could be made available via FTP or Email? There seem to be considerable lag times for c.s.u postings....

Our raytracer has been using farming (squirting out individual frames to different machines on a hetereogenous network for animation) and intra-frame distribution (batches of scanlines as above for a single image) for about 18 months and we have found (obviously) great benefit in this for animation work. (We sell the raytracer - it is not PD). We use rshells and rcopies for our distribution but feel that a UNIX socket approach may be more appropriate with daemons on both ends to master and serve the distribution. Any body done anything along these lines?? -- Phil Dench --------------------------------------------+---------------------------------- | School of Computer Science, ACSNet: raytrace@cutmcvax.oz | Curtin University of Technology, UUCP: ...!uunet!munnari!cutmcvax!raytrace | Kent Street, ARPA: raytrace%cutmcvax.oz@uunet.UU.NET | Bentley | Western Australia, 6102 --------------------------------------------+----------------------------------
