So that's where all of iEN's money went.

"Here Johnny (R) and I_ (L) pose with "Wild Bill" Stealey in front of his T-28 "Miss Microprose". If I seem a bit stressed its because just minutes before Bill and I had landed after a near belly flop. Bill was showing off for an A-10 squadron lined up in preparation for take-off after our landing. Bill hot-dogged a power dive landing but forgot to lower the landing gear. As we pulled out of the 3-g dive and leveled off I noticed that the landing gear dial indicated we were wheels up. We were less than 10 feet above the deck. I hit my intercom button but at the same moment the tower radio blared out "WHEELS UP!". Bill firewalled the engine which roared and slowly pulled us up from the edge of disaster. Watching from the tarmac Johnny thought we were just goofing off. During the much more conservative reapproach to the field Bill swore me to secrecy. But he began to tell the story himself in bars at CES in the following years."

Or is ien and imol the same thing now?

Same company, various names.
IM bought ICI then changed name to IMOL and then changed name to iEN.
