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...
