There was an announcement in this news group dated 11 Dec 90.

I ftp'ed khoros from pprg.unm.edu and got it running on a Sun Sparc1+
under OpenWIndows. It is a very impressive package.

The version I got was v 0.9 - a beta release. I don't know if there have been
any changes. Since this is a beta version, there are some rough edges and
missing pieces. However, it compares quite favorably in its quality
and completeness to much commercial software.

The part that I like best is the graphical dataflow programming interface
for defining complex image processing operations.
