PowerOpen, the PowerPC RISC supporters club, now under the leadership of Tom Mace and planning to open a European office in Paris by February, expects to start circulating Draft 2 of its application binary interface to only a small number of software houses later this month. General distribution to anyone who comes calling will begin in April. PowerOpen, meanwhile, which counts five sponsors and over 150 members on its rolls, also has a handful of secret members, all apparently with plans to do something with the PowerPC chip and Intel Corp is said to be starting to fight a rearguard action against the new RISC chip.
