I'm looking for information on the recent demise of Multiflow.

The latest information I have is that discussions were proceeding with
Intel on a possible deal on Multiflow's compiler technology, although
Multiflow itself was unlikely to survive.  Did this deal ever come to
fruition? If not, what has become of former Multiflow personnel?

Is work on the compiler technology going on elsewhere or has it died
with Multiflow?

What were the reasons for the company's failure in the first place?

I'd also be interested in *any* information about Cydrome, which I
believe is another failed VLIW machine manufacturer.

Neil.
