Wang Laboratories Inc yesterday confirmed that it is in talks that could lead to sale of its imaging software business to Eastman Kodak Co in a deal the could be worth several hundred million dollars – but would say no more.

It would not be surprising if Kodak were interested – it already uses the software and new broom George Fisher needs to make his mark quickly at a company that has been drifting for about 20 years.
