Hello,

What is the current state of GRIP? Is it still alive? I've access
only to some older papers:

[1]	Simon L. Peyton Jones, Chris Clack, Jon Salkild, Mark Hardie:
	"GRIP - a high performance architecture for parallel graph
	reduction", Proc IFIP Conference on Funct. Prog. Lang., 
	Portland, Ed. G.Kahn, LNCS 274 (1987).

[2]	Simon L. Peyton Jones, Chris Clack, Jon Salkild:
	"High-performance parallel graph reduction", PARLE '89,
	Vol. 1, Ed. E.Odjik, M.Rem, J.-C.Syre, Springer 89.

Does the machine tends to a product-quality fixpoint? Is there a 
user community? Are there other applications then classical graph 
reduction? Hints are very appreciated.
