Still, I wonder if "his own Forth" means he typed in Bill Ragsdale's FIG 
Forth for the Apple II which was sold as printed assembler source. It was the 
starting point for nearly everyone. At the time, we (Mountain View Press) 
also printed and handled sales for FIG.

I never asked him. I just know he used the PADS product. PADS included a 
metacompiler which made it easy to write your own version of Forth.
