It had an article called "Creating Computer Godzillas" with a cute little cartoon. It went something like, "Researchers at the computer maker NeXT Inc. have developed a potent program that harnesses the unused computing power in a network of computers..." As for documentation, it's available online in the Zilla application, located in /NextDeveloper/Demos/Zilla.app on NeXTstep 2.0 Extended systems. At NeXT, they've been factoring numbers like F15 - a number with about 10,000 digits. Nasty stuff. Declan McCullagh Independent NeXT Developer
