Mac-to-PowerPC software start-up Echo Logic Inc, the company spun out from AT&T Bell Laboartories and backed by AT&T Ventures, fresh from its triumphant debut, figures that it has proved the feasibility of its concept and is now starting afresh to try and make the binary compiler technology, FlashPort, easy to use. President Brad Burnham says that the amount of information FlashPort generates about a program as it attempts to translate it from one system to another has presented him with pricing and packaging issues. Some people have notions of using the technology as an ambitious static analysis machine but in most cases it simply presents more data than anybody needs and will have to be restrained. Echo Logic isn’t rushing towards the Intel iAPX-86 market, estimating it would take nine months to complete with four or five dedicated folks working on it.
