So, um, would someone mind explaining the role of Polyforth in the
history of Forth?  I guess it was a Forth Inc. product written (at least
in significant part) by Chuck himself, that was sort of a predecessor of
Swiftforth?  Why did Swiftforth diverge from it--something to do with
ANS?  Is Polyforth still actively being sold/maintained other than by
Greenarrays?  Is it unrepairably non-ANS conformant?  Do parts of it
live on in Swiftforth?

Just wondering.  Thanks.
