question about parallel use of rpiece ..

I'm a newbie user of radiance, and i'm trying to configure
a script for parallel rendering with rpiece. However,
i just know how to use rpict program as part of the rad interface.
so, the question is: Is it possible to use rpiece from the rad interface?

thanks in advance,

Looks like no one answered this query. Unfortunately, the answer is "no." Not much to elaborate, I'm afraid. The best you can do is use rad to generate the rendering options you pass to rpiece, like so:

% rad -v 0 -n scene.rif OPT=options.txt
% rpiece @options.txt [rpiece options] octree

You'll need to consult the rpiece man page for further details.
