It's older than that...  :-)

It was late 1978 at the Ricky's Hyatt in Palo Alto, CA, when Michel Manoni
told us he'd put his best tie on.  He talked about some protected parts of the
code (200 bytes?), that in case FORTH, Inc. folded, the code was being held in
trust by a third party and it would be released.  He also told us there was a
new product called polyFORTH.
