Several firms bought rights to the compiler and I expect they will be
offering some variation within the next few years. For a good book on
vliw see the "Bulldog" compiler book put out by Yale Press. The Multiflow
founders were all from Yale and some assisted with the book.

You could also stop by and I'll give you a technical reference book.
BTW, Multiflow is still alive and  the machines are still available
as well as technology deals. Call or write me if you're interested.
