Unfortunately, Cindy passed away last summer. I haven't been in touch with John or Ben in decades and don't know how to reach them. They used to have a company called Equator (I think) that continued work on their trace scheduling compilier after the demise of Multiflow. I do have a big file folder with info on the compiler design but I don't think that I'm free to share it. Jon
