Great question.  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.
