Sold to OV as part of the assets of the Fast websearch division. Note that ATW still has the Fast Search & Transfer ASA tag on it, that's why we still got the forum running under the current title. But it is sold, and gets operated currently mostly (completely?) out of Wellesley, MA.

>creative book keeping
Not my area of expertise, but it makes sense for OV to sell off the corporate search customers they got with the Altavista deal.
Fast however, the EX-owners of ATW, are definitely out of websearch and focusing on coporate search. The former AV corporate search team is now with Fast, Fast has new customers.
The corporate search market is huge.
