88Open, the consortium of vendors committed to Motorola’s 88000 RISC chip, has appointed a full-time executive director. He is Bob Anundson, who replaces acting director Roger Cady, and comes from Tektronix Inc. Anundson was pro tem chairman of the group of companies, including Tektronix, that eventually became 88Open just before the launch of the chip in April. The consortium now has 39 members, and according to Anundson, will concentrate on developing a programme that will accelerate the delivery of application software for 88000-based machines. 88Open Consortium Ltd has now established new offices in Wilsonville, Oregon.
