Nope...

Have fun... I did it once a few years back... it worked ok but getting 
the frames distributed was kludgey...

I had better luck using Tcl/Tk and Expect. I generated all the frames 
and sent them to  individual servers using a custom tcl script and using 
Expect to control the distribution...

Sorry, but I don't have any of old notes...

Now that POVray can use multicore processors, it seems a waste of time 
to have to work out the distribution scheme again to use individual 
computers in a cluster...

BTW, if you Google "povray mosix" you'll find some resources to get you 
started if you want to pursue it...

Good luck...
