----------------------------Original message----------------------------

Hi Scott,
        While at Stardent of an AVS training class they gave us
a flier on AVS3, which is due to be released in December. AVS3
includes "New Heterogeneous Network Support", which includes color X
windown terminal support and remote module exectution.

Remote Module Exectution:
"AVS users can now interact directly with a computational process
running on a remote compute server on a network. AVS3 can control and
execute modules on antoher system running either AVS or the AVS Module
Support library. An XDR capability is provided to transparently handle
data from systems with differing formats.

The user can select remote modules and include these modules in an AVS
network. AVS will autiomatically invoke and execute the modules on
the remote system."
