	In the August 1984 issue of IEEE Computer, a product called the
Synapse N+1 is discussed in the article "Fault-Tolerant Systems in
Commercial Applications". In particular, there is mention of a scheme
used to decide where to insert checkpoints in higher-level language
code. I called the number in the article, and it was not valid. I dialed
the operator, and there is no listing for Synapse in Milpitas, CA.
Netters, here are my questions:

	1.)Is this company in business? If so, where can I reach them?

	2.)Are there published articles describing this machine?
	If so, where?
