and I am curious as to whether any of the original Multiflow compilers
survive. I had never heard of them before now, but the fact that they were
licensed to so many influential companies makes me think that there might
be folks on this list who know of its history.

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.
