That was the Domain Software Engineering Environment (DSEE).  One of
my fellow engineers in DEC's Software Development Methods & Tools
group was Dave Leblang,  He had been working on CMS (Code Management
System), DEC's source code versioning system for VAX/VMS.  At Apollo
he developed DSEE, and he was a co-founder of Atria.  CMS took many
ideas from SCCS on the PWB.

Apollo also did some early work in the field of CGI ray-tracing.  They
released the very impressive 4-minute film "Quest: A Long Ray's
Journey into Night" in 1986.  The ray-tracing was done by a network of
100 Apollo workstations and was revolutionary for its time.
